In relation to the "To Throw the Flag or Not to Throw the Flag" article, I'm in the throw the flag camp. Considering that the flag toss resulted in UNC's victory, I might be somewhat biased, but I don't think the rules should change based on the score and the clock. I do agree that a ref should be darn sure before he makes a possibly game changing call, but I think that certainty should be necessary regardless of the clock. Implicit in the question of whether the clock should factor into a ref's calls is the assumption that time is being viewed in a linear fashion. If time is viewed in a circuitous fashion, then the proximity of the call to the end of the game becomes irrelevant and the flag must be judged on legitimacy alone.
