Me too. I ain't ready to be hung on a cross yet. I make mistakes too.

You'd be the last one I'd suspect would willingly agree to fudge what happened to avoid the embarrassment of fixing it.
I'm shocked and disappointed.

BZ, doing something like sending out exams and answers over the internet is unethical. Of course, that's also my opinion only, and I know that there's posters here that disagree completely with me on that one. Screwing up a call and having the cojones to admit it publically to his peers on this forum though doesn't make a fellow official cowardly and unethical imo. The guy was right up-front on the play- he admitted that he made a mistake and screwed the play up completely. He's obviously learned a lesson from it. He obviously wanted input to see if there was anything else to be learned from the unfortunate incident too.
Yes, I personally do get carried away myself and maybe go too far sometimes. In this case, calling the guy "cowardly and unethical" for screwing up this particular call is just way over the top. Again, that's just my opinion only and I ain't gonna get into an extended flame war about it.

So coming on a forum anonymously is brave?
It does not change the fact that it was admitted that the crew
KNEW at the time they had a correctable error situation that could be fixed, but chose instead to use disposal as an out.
"Since only three people in gym who knew what had happened were wearing striped shirts, we agreed that ball was at disposal of Team B."
Oh well, as long as only we know we are not fixing something we should, it's okay.
