This is why I added the note that I have done this only 3 times in roughly 300 games . I have never gone out of my way to openly proclaim that I blew the call (I won't say that I will never do that either) .
In all 3 circumstances I have been approached about a particular call... 1 clean block called a foul because I anticipated the foul (I know ....I am learning to let the play develop) 1 no call when the player was fouled ....I just froze for some reason even though my brain registered the foul and I forget the other one but it may have been a non intentional call on a layup (Not quite sure) .
Each time the Coach/player has approached me during a break well after the play and asked me politely what I saw and instead of just making sommething up I simply said that I had missed that call or something to that effect .
