An eagle-eyed fan at West Virginia’s win against NC State at Madison Square Garden noticed ... this:
West Virginia-NC State ref appears to be watching NFL on monitor
The ref isn’t blind. He’s just watching something else.
Welp this ref that's watching NFL is clearly paying full attention to the #WVU #NCState game... pic.twitter.com/QTUYqgyDUA
— Mel Moraes (@melmoraes) December 21, 2014 That's the alternate ref, who isn't directly involved in making on-court calls, but ... still! That monitor is for doing replays and stuff! Stop watching football! Of course, it's possible this was an unlucky moment and he was watching the game on ESPN2 and a fan took a picture at the exact moment they cut away to a football game. And the game wasn't actively going on at this moment in time, so it's not like he was neglecting his duties ... but still.
