Jim Kitts, who is an NCAA quality ref was the lead official at the St. Louis game, and thank Gawd for that. He was smart enough to make a couple of calls to "make up" the other two bozos' mistakes and level the game back out- one of which was a "touch" offensive foul on St. Louis late in the game.

Kitts was also smart enough to NOT call a tech on XU with .1 second on the clock after Dante Jackson came onto the court after DBrown's tip in. Being a veteran official, he realized the situation and didn't change what the players had done on the court.
PAY THE MAN!!!!

A10 refs also call other conferences. and the espn circuit, higgins, and the others make some wierd calls too. teams just have to be good enough to win despite bad calls. that's a fact..
