Thanks Stan

On other threads, I have made it clear that I support the call. I think that Stan gets my drift, that it would be beneficial for all for officials to explain why calls are made. And I never suggested a press conference, but rather something along the lines of a press release with an official statement of explanation.

And I agree with San that the NFL is a great example of how post-game is a time where calls are clarified. Everybody here complains about how announcers for NCAA games get the rules and interps wrong. NFL announcers all know the tuck rule, because the NFL explained it rather than letting silence somehow indicate that the call was supported by rule. If you refuse to explain, you are contributing to the misconceptions, IMO.
