“After emotions are down a little bit let analyze Gonzales/ Trujillo incident in my last game. After review my tape red to Gonzales harsh. Even though Gonzales was instigator he did not make acontact above shoulders like I was told by my crew member on the field. Not having the best view of the incident acted on opinion of my crew members. Saying that I am taking full responsibility forthis call. In officiating we survive as a team and sink as a team. As a head referee I take the blame even though it wasn’t really my decision. Great learning experience. Because referee is showingcard,calls pk doesn’t always means that he is making a call.”
