For those of you who read my column today and wanted to see exactly what play in the Louisville UConn game I was talking about you can watch it here

At the end of the video clip the announcers talk about playing through the whistle, as in Louisville should have kept playing until they actually heard a whistle. It is a split second decision to either hit the guy or not hit him. 99 times out of 100 you hit him and that’s a 15 yard penalty. On a fair catch especially, I don’t think that you can really play through a whistle, you need to assume that if he catches the ball he is down.

What the officials did was terrible and the fact that the play was not reviewable just proves to me that there are still issues in the instant replay system.
