I don't work cage ball either. I haven't seen basketball referees at any level talk in the same manner and change calls.

Well, you used your usual tactic above to ignore my questions completely concerning what the other sports really use, so let's try again:
1) Are you saying that NFL officials NEVER get together to conference and try and get a call correct? Never? Can you please cite the appropriate NFL mechanic in use that states that there is no conferencing allowed? Do you know what the actual recommended mechanic actually is in the NFL? And you say that coaches or players can't appeal calls that lead to this dialogue? Can they then appeal calls that lead to a TV replay instead? Do you know if the NCAA and FED also have mechanics in use in football that will allow officials to conference over certain calls, and change those calls if they think that they should be changed? And what type of calls they are? Please answer and please be specific- citing the rule, case play, mechanic issued, etc. to back up your assertation that there are NO conferences used in football.
2) You say that basketball officials won't talk and change calls either? Didn't you spend the whole summer stating that not only do basketball officials talk and change calls, they actually can overrule another official's call? True or false, indy? Do you remember the NCAA playoff game that you cited? Or do you want me to dig it out for you? Do you know how the NCAA replay system really works in basketball- when you can use it, when you can't, what type of calls it can be used for only,etc.? Do you know what is in the NCAA and FED mechanics book when it comes to conferencing to change a call, and whether, or if, there is a recommended procedure?
You know everything about officiating at every level in these other sports, Windy. Give us some answers.
