The refs reset our minds after each match, so I can't say that I remember any particular instant anymore, and I may not have been watching that area of the field. But I will say that we had all hands on deck (6 refs + 1 head ref) during the finals, and we were watching very carefully for pinning and other penalties. Most likely if it appeared to be pinning but wasn't called that way, 175 was considered to have a way out or wasn't trapped or wasn't backing away when they had the chance or something like that. Again, I can't pick out this particular instance in my mind, but I promise we were being as attentive as possible.
