I think there is a really big misconception that college officials swallow their whistles. I have been to many college camps and I have never been told to not make calls. What is said a lot is to get plays right. I watch a lot of college ball and I see a lot of fouls called on made baskets. When I talk to officials at D1 levels, they talk more about getting plays right, they do not talk about not blowing the whistle. I had a long conversation with a D1 official last night and he was talking more about tape study and learning from other officials. He did not once talk about not making calls.
