So what you are telling me, when the coach sees something they are right? What you see as it relates to the line is judgment, that is not just a rule. A rule would be making a call about the line, then doing something else. If all you have is a toe on the line that is not obvious, I would not go around trying to get into a debate with a coach about it. Coaches think they see a lot of things and think you are clueless.

I never told you to be a jerk about it. You say what you saw or that you did not see it that way, then you move on. If you feel like you have to admit every time you make a call he does not agree with, you will be in for a long night. Because to me this is no different than a foul or a call that you do not make that he sees. You are not going to see everything the same way a coach does or agree with their point of view. Why is this any different? If you did not call it, you can tell him just about anything. If it bothers you that much, then do not miss the call. But usually, a toe on the line is not something most very experienced officials make a huge deal about.

Peace
