That can't happen.

Do we know for certain that they were not aware of the rule? I had assumed they had made the call based on not being able to determine if the stick was thrown intentionally. It happened at speed and was not clear to me until watching the replay several time and discussing the call as a group would not change that either regardless of whether they knew the rule. In this case video review was about the only way the call was going to be made. The only thing in questions to me is why they did not ask for a review right away, or perhaps why were they unaware a review was going to occur?
