I disagree I believe that the refs should be held responsable for
the way they call a game. In the minnesota northern michgan game
the missed call or in view was a no call could have caused serious
injury to mike crowley and caused minnesota a scoring chance.
the refs are not supposed to control the outcome of the game.
in this instace the wcha was justified in making it public.
