If you simply say,"It's not my call," that insinuates that you agree with what the coach is asking for. If you say,
"It's tough to make that call from here," or "It's hard to see that from here," you might at least cast a small amount of doubt. If, on the other hand, you had enough of a look to describe a play as a train wreck, that when you can say
"Let's call something even if it's wrong."
