While I would commend and stand behind any call you guys made on the field, especially after getting together and talking about it, I do think this one brings up some good discussion points.
Did the defender truely slip in the mud?
How close was he to the receiver?
Was he in position to make a play or could the slip/dive be a desperation move?
We didn't see the play but I as a back judge would try to factor all these in on a play as described.
