I hear an echo...
Get a good angle, get as close as possible without smothering the play, but get set/stopped before the play happens.
Replay it in your head once, maybe twice if you can.
Think: was it ball/foot or foot/ball?
Was it tag/bag or bag/tag?
Call what you see, not who yells loud enough!
Make your call, and be sure to sell it.
Bang-bang plays are why we umpire. They are so much fun!
