but I think an official has to be with the chain gang at this point in the playoffs, this could have been his role. (Since he has a jacket on I wouldnt think he would be one of the men making the calls) Actually the officials in the playoff games are rarely ever from even the region of the state of the participating teams. That is a very odd video. All I can make of it is that it was a very exciting end and he got excited. He wouldnt be the clock operator I would not think. Possibly the 25 second guy. IDK either way very unprofessional. I assure you this though whether it seems it or not officials are normally from a location that is no where near the schools participating.

Let me clarify...He's a ref, but had no part in officiating the game tonight...The refs tonight were 7 caucasion men

He should have taken it off, at least. It looks bad whether he was making the calls or not. Cheer and go crazy when you aren't wearing an official's stripes. It's like a police officer going crazy like that. Just doesn't look good.

When we playedShaw in baseball back in the day, they had a local cop who would show up to ump their game. He had pretty close to the same attitude to the guy in the video. Shaw did have a pretty good QB back then named Kelvin Love.
