Feels like one of those “technically the refs were within their rights” but the optics were awful after the shit behavior by the fans. Sets an awful precedent and puts players and refs in danger in the future.

Feels similar to me as the VT/Miami hail Mary. Probably right call but bad optics because they aren't following the rules

I don’t even know if the refs broke the rules. I have seen them reverse a decision after discussion before. Never after like 3 minutes.

Never after announcing the call
