Sunday morning, Tavani got a call. Interference should have been called, he was told. The official blew it. He would be disciplined.

The consolation call changes nothing. The Leopards will not go back and replay the series from the spot of the infraction.

"It was a tough pill to swallon, but it's like anything in the game," Tavani said. "That one play didn't wion or lose it. It's critical, and one that leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, but you can't dwell on it."

Tavani said the guy who first called him Sunday was "pretty distraught about it. Then I did receive and actual ruling that, yes, indeed, there was clearly a foul that was not called and they had blown it and that he had called Carolyn (Schlle Femovitch, the Patriot League executive director). That said, like any other mistake, guys get paid to do a job, they didn't do it and there are consequences. Jim Maconaghy does a great job and I wouldn't want anyone else assigning officials. He's great to work with. All the coaches in the league have some complaints. He evaluates them and gets back to you. It ios what it is. We're past that.
