One thing to consider; this was Mark Shegos, the brother of the more
emperienced Matt "5-on-3 because I'm short" Shegos.  I indeed thought he
had several quick whistles, which my be a sign of nerves because he
hasn't done as many games as some of the other refs.  Nevertheless, I
thought he did a real good job, overall.
