Mr. McCarthy,

You are absolutely right...a better choice of words for me would have been foul. We were saying the same thing the whole time, and didn't even realize it (at least I didn't...but I have learned, from now on, when I discuss something with an official, I will make sure that I use the word "foul" vice "call," because I have come to realize in this discussion that the word "call" has a negative connotation and seemingly puts officials on the defensive...see, we coaches can learn).

And yes, I am new to this board, and I had a feeling that this example was going to cause some angst.

Oh well, you live you learn. Hopefully, I haven't wasted anyone's time, I sure have enjoyed this.
