and should have been. One thing we don't to be is blind to what our players do to deserve things.

Any sane person would have be under control. I appreciate the sentiment and I understand Valentine's reaction but we should not be an apologist for a player who did something that likely warranted a technical even it was :05.

And I would rather have a PI called with :05 seconds left it is a PI. People would say that the refs are inserting themselves into a game. Well by not calling things, they are affecting the game as well. So not calling things isn't "letting them play". it is affecting the outcome of a game by letting things go.
