‘The call Saban is whining about was 10000% correct however. Clear pass interference on the Bama player.’
except any number of times ‘clear pass interference’ is not called, throuhgout the entire game; his gripe is legit to the extent that it was called at a point that sealed the victory for the opponent...
the flag came out well after the play occurred; if a ref cannot immediately make up his mind that a foul occurred, the flag should stay in the pocket...additionally, if the call is likely going, to seal the result of game, the flag should stay in the pocket...the result of any game should be determined by actual play, not by fiat officiation...
Whatever - in the moment it was the right call, regardless of what you think was or wasn’t called before or after.
