Actually, I just said that I would call what I saw. If I cannot tell they missed the bag, then, in my best judgment, they touched it.
You have to remember that some folks think just getting a foot within 18" of a base is "close enough" for a neighborhood play. Guess what? It isn't good enough if I see the player, offensive or defensive, miss the bag.
