Jeff, this is a correct statement and I (and WCB) will happily concede this. However, there are circumstance when we as officials are overruled. Earlier in this thread I cited a personal experience a call that was overruled by my white hat. I flagged the quarterback for IG. The white hat waved my flag off because, in HIS judgement, it was not IG. I was out of position and not covering my area. 2 mistakes on my part that resulted in my flag being waved off.

Experience has taught me that when you start making statements such as "...no one uses that language..." you are either ignorant of the situation or working within a very small pool of people. Funny thing, I know of 3 NCAA officials who believe that you are off base and attempting to apply absolutes to a very fluid situation, seems like poor judgement (based on your credentials) or a lack of experience.
I will offer this point - as the skill level of the official increases, fewer of these overule/change types of situations occur.
