Relax, it is an opinion. I do not expect everyone to agree. I feel it is running away (always have btw) when you call the foul you want another official to answer for your actions. Of course it can be a tool, but not a very good one. The reason this change was made in the first place is because officials would always run in the other direction when there was a conflict. The mechanic helped with this. I do not give a damn if a coach does not like my call. I just know I am the better person to tell the coach what happen when I make such a critical call. Not a partner that did not see the play or might not be sure of what actually happen.

I'm relaxed just fine. You have your opinion and guess what, I get one too. Last year my young partner was getting grief from a coach for a call. Shortly thereafter, he called a 5th foul on one of the coaches players. I just walked over and told my partner, "I got it" and sent him away from the coach. I notified the coach and then told the player and had the timer start the 30-second timer. It's a good tool to use when you need it and I'm quite certain the coach would have used the 30-seconds to create a conflict had my partner done the procedure.
