You’d think the committee would be busy enough with arm sleeves, leg sleeves, compression shorts and tights.
This to me is no different than one official calling a foul and another official calling a violation. You figure out what happens first too in those situations and you can likely only pick one anyway. Why did they have to act like a held ball was so different? Saw a game last night where officials called a timeout instead of a held ball and that did not eliminate the confusion or the controversy. Just as you stated.
