When they discussed the play on the field, we had to go with what they decided. It was a TD that was clearly the wrong call. None of the other officials could do anything but accept their call. If the TV cameras were not there, I still would have no idea what actually took place on this play. So how could we "overrule" their call? It was wrong, but we had to live with it. We do not have instant replay; we would not have had the benefit of other officials on the field to change the call. We had to live with their call.
Take your medication before you hurt yourself.
When has ANYONE said to overrule something you didn't see?
Your opinions and advocacy of leaving plays stand is becoming utter insanity. I don't care who you seen speak or who you've talked to, none of those guys would have a job at that level if they saw an obvious error be made and let it stand. I work at the Division 1 level and you do not. Don't try to tell me what we do as crews. We know that getting here is easy, staying here is tough. You do not get to keep our schedules without making sure the game is called fairly. You may take some heat at the momemt of decision, but in the long run, the ADs and Director of Officiating for that conference will back you if you keep showing that you will do whatever you have to in order to make the right call. Stop pretending that these calls don't happen. They occur in almost every sport when the officials care about their jobs. BTW, I've known Lapetina, Lyons, LeMonnier and Honig for over a decade. One thing is certain, they expect perfection on the field and will do whatever is necessary to insure that they do not end up on the highlight reel for kicking a call and letting it stand. Name dropping won't work with me.
