I think that the end of today's Kutztown/WCU game could be the poster child for this type of discussion. Before I get into it, I will say that officials have a tough job, and in general do a pretty good job... What was horrible today, though, was this............you had two teams battling hard in a tie game late....with any playoff hopes for WC riding on the result, and Kutztown trying to fortify their position......I was watching online......Kutztown scores a touchdown with 10 seconds to go, on a pass play.......however, it was quite evident that the player who caught the ball did a full two hand push-off/offensive interference, which allowed him to catch the pass. Replay clearly shows it, as well. The WC team and coach were livid, as they should have been. Game over......called by the ref, who was right there and missed it.............Even in division one, you can only challenge a call, not a non-call. Maybe....at least in the last 5 minutes........you should be able to. division 2 does not have replay. However, in recent years, and the abilities of cheap HD streaming, I don't think cost is an issue anymore, and perhaps being allowed to challenge "non-calls" in the last 5 minutes of a ball game could be an option. I just do not think that a game of this magnitude.....well-played on both sides.......should be decided by a horrendous non-call......and that's exactly what happened here......Kutztown might have very well won anyway.......but it was clinched by a referee, not their play..............

I didn't see the push off live at the game. Watched the play again later and it does look like Kapp did get away with one but as mentioned earlier at this level, and even higher, calls are going to be missed. Everyone has been on both sides of one at some point or another.

Yes, this is high school. But until someone can top this travesty we need not have any more officiating discussions. It was called an INT. https://twitter.com/BaseballPvBears/...99797160157198
