What College Dual was this? I've been to plenty of college duals. Wathching them, wrestling in them, and coaching them.
It doesn't matter what position Herman was in. Refs do make that call from time to time. But if you ever watch the ncaa rules video of tough calls. They tell the refs to allow the scrambles time to work them selves out. Reason being too many refs were calling the "quick 2 td or reversal" and these kids these days hit these scrambles and nullify what looked to just be a td or reversal
Chase Nelson got screwed on a similar deal. Nelson hits a slide by on Feldcamp, Feldcamp sliped out and put Chase in a bad spot Chase immediately somehow funked out of it but the ref was already calling 2.. The ref in my opinion decided that match... I think Herman showed great patience and letting them scramble. Yes you can see him almost jump the gun and make a call but he let them wrestle... End result I think was the correct call.
