How do you make this judgement call if A2 would have landed in bounds or not? Who's side do you lean towards if its close?
I try to watch the arc of the jump and I try to estimate where he would have landed and I can usually get a pretty good sense this way. I don't know if I've given much thought to "when in doubt" but "when in doubt, the pass is incomplete."
