He also was the baseline official when Pitt was on offense n the second half. So, yes, that flop by Clemson (that was called a Charge on Burton) AND the referee who didn't call a foul when Burton got hammered in the final 15 seconds was a PSU grad. So there's that.
Trailing official on the horrible deflection out of bounds call that was awarded to Clemson went to PSU....

Honestly, I didn't have an issue with his officiating in the first 34-35 minutes, but the last 5-6 minutes or so wasn't good. It's tough to debate that.
The missed out of bounds call (which was called by Lee Cassell who was on the baseline) happened at 9:00 or so.
That's what I recall. The game score was in the 50's at that point with us leading 57-53 or something similar
Cassell wasn't the trailing official. Trailing official could and should have overruled that terrible call. He didn't.
I re-watched several times it and there was absolutely no way the trailing official could have been in any position to see what happened to overrule it. It was a completely wrong call made by Cassell though and he wasn't in a good position either. But the trailing official had even less of a view of the call.
Nonetheless, I'm wondering which official you are referring to as the trailing official and how you know he went to PSU.
Just checking to make sure you weren't just making stuff up, because the trail was indeed Evans. Nonetheless, allow me to suggest that it's simply silly to suggest that Evans made this call because he's a PSU grad. And like I said, Cassel made the call first and Evans signaled the same just after Cassell. And like I said, there's no way Evans was in a position to overrule.
Also, Evans gave a real gift call to Burton to give him 2 foul shots at the 5:35 mark.
He was certainly in a position to overrule and didn't do it. It was a terrible call. Just like the calls, or lack there of, versus Burton not once, but twice, in the final minute.
No he wasn't. He was behind. Still, it was a terrible initial call (made by Cassell) no doubt, but to suggest that Evans didn't overrule it because he's PSU grad is ... well ...
Evans wasn't at the center of the missed out of bounds call. Cassell made that call -- blame it on him. And the charge against Burton around 1:30 was a a really obvious call. Even a PSU grad could get it right LOL!
Yeah the people mad about Burton driving directly into players with his head down clearly pushing off is weird. He does this all game and gets away with it, can’t really be mad the one time he gets called for it because someone was in legal guarding position.
The Clemson defender had position for sure on the spin .
You know that the refs rotate around all game (based on foul calls), so there is no such thing as a "baseline official when Pitt is on offense in the second half", right?
When a ref calls a shooting foul he takes the position on the sideline opposite of the benches. Which makes him the baseline official when the play goes to the opposite end of the court. If that guy was in a different position when he made the call then his position, and the position of one of the other refs, switches. So there isn't anyone who is a baseline official for a whole half on either end of the court.
So you seriously think he's purposely screwing Pitt, then rushing to the locker room to whack off to his JoePa cardboard cutout?
