NFL referee Bill Vinovich was leading the officiating crew at the center of the blown pass interference no-call that helped end the Saints’ season in the NFC Championship. And it turned out that Vinovich wasn’t able to escape that moment at his other gig.
Vinovich worked Thursday’s college basketball game between St. Mary’s and BYU. While one would think that students in Provo, Utah, wouldn’t have much issue with the Saints missing the Super Bowl, the student section let the NFL referee hear it during the game.
One video captured a student asking Vinovich if the play was a pass interference, and Vinovich brushed the question off, refusing to give an answer.
