"you gotta make the officials know"
So often moving the blame to someone else. It is not like the game situation importance is some new mystery to the refs at about 2 minutes and a close score."All I really want to say on it, just so I don't get myself in trouble, is I did exactly what coach told me to do. Went to the ref, said report, and yeah, I don't know," he said.

How do you know they know? Without some read back like ATC with aircraft this stuff can happens. More of the signs of the crappy way refing that has always been. What would be wrong with requiring that the ref repeats to the player that he hears eligible from player number x. Not correct, tell him he is wrong.
