Proper thought process and terminology should be - Anticipating the play, not the call.
While I agree that your awareness of preventive officiating skills and anticipation is commendable, if we start calling things that are "going" to happen just because the game could get "messy" then we are doing a disservice to ourselves and the game.
Granted, you probably made the call that would have been made a majority of the time in that situation, nonetheless it didn't actually happen.
There are so many factors that can go into this play(and many of them have been mentioned)!
Some other concerns:
Who was opposite table and were they far enough away from the action to "look through" the scrum to be aware that the bench may be trying to call a timeout?
What were the events leading up to the individual ending up on the floor?
There are so many things to look at, I just brought up a couple.
Thanks for thread!
