Have you never seen an NFL game where one official makes the signal for Completed Pass/Catch and another comes running in and signals that the ball hit the ground first and it is Incomplete? I've seen dozens of these calls and they are done immediately.

I am the idiot, but you do not understand that the officials are just working together? That is common? What does that have to do with "overruling" a partner?

MORE THAN ONE OFFICIAL HAS CATCH/NO CATCH RESPONSIBLITY ON THE SAME PLAY!!!! There is almost never a call that only one official is stuck with. NO ONE OFFICIAL IS GOING TO MAKE A CALL WITHOUT A LOOK FROM A FELLOW OFFICIAL. Forward progress, blocking fouls, catch/no catch, TD/no TD calls, all can be made with 2 or more officials. The more officials on the field, the more opportunities to look to each other to get the calls right. It is not like in baseball where only the PU has to determine ball and strikes only. Unless we are talking about the Referee that has VERY SPECIFIC PLAYS WITH THE QB OR KICKER, on every play there is collaboration with a call.

It is very clear you do not officiate. I cannot believe that someone "claims" to work D1 Baseball is so out of touch with reality and common sense. ALMOST ALL CATCHES ARE MADE WITH 2 OR MORE OFFICIALS IN COORDINATION WITH EACH OTHER.
