Amazing! You're still not reading carefully. I haven't gone back through the entire thread, but I know most posters agree that calls can be changed. Indeed, I argue that they must be changed. But not all calls may be changed. Note carefully that the 1950 case book comment you allude to does not identify which plays may be changed. The traditon and professional interpretation decide that. And that is, indeed, opinion, but highly "authoritative opinion" reaching near the level of "official."

You call was not one of those sanctioned for change.

Warren, as the other objective observers noted, was dead on both times. You are still defending an indefensible action.

BTW: I didn't see your most recent post. But if it was deleted, it was clearly in violation of the guideliness set out by Right Sports and the Admin, Bradley Batt.
