This one is pretty extreme but there are several more that I could think of. [/B]

Not quite this extreme. But you got the jist of it. Obvious (100% sure) foul, happens in front of your P, they don't call anything. You end up calling it late.
I know about our coverage areas as does just about every body else.
So basically some of you are saying that if you P may have been blocked out, or had a brain-fart. You will let them fry. Even if you happen to be 110% sure that foul had to be called.
This didn't actually happen to me but it happened to another ref on my board. The evaluators for that tournament didn't ride him for calling out of his area - they were criticizing the other ref for not making that call (it was that obvious). I believe the play happened off a rebound (which was why he happened to see it).
