BYU basketball notebook: Notorious official part of the crew in BYU's 71-66 win over Saint Mary's

PROVO — Most home fans typically ride officiating crews for calls that go against their team, although BYU fans may have been riding one particular official a bit more than usual during the Cougars' 71-66 win over Saint Mary's on Thursday.

Bill Vinovich was in town to officiate Thursday's game, a name that may ring familiar with fans of NFL football and a name that won't soon be forgotten by heart-broken fans of the New Orleans Saints.

Vinovich headed the officiating crew that missed a blatant pass interference call against the Los Angeles Rams late in last Sunday's NFC championship game against the Saints.
