Our moderators are getting thin skinned. They deleted my reply again.
Baseball is leading the way here. I have yet to see another major sport revamp their officiating like baseball did this past two years.
I don't work the sport, but noticed that the NFL replay system doesn't function as well. They don't use the overturn conference like baseball either. Coaches and players can't appeal calls that lead to this dialogue.
I don't work cage ball either. I haven't seen basketball referees at any level talk in the same manner and change calls.
I'm proud of the fact that while we can still be proud of our skills, we are made more human by our ability to correct many bad calls. Maybe the other sports will follow the lead.
