Yowza....those are the really tough ones. Primary defender B/C calls are usually slam dunks - but those secondaries are where it gets really hairy.

I agree with the others - you made the call, it was your primary, you sold it. No point in beating yourself up. Could you have been wrong? Maybe by a micrometer (sorry for the metric). No biggie.

One thing, just from an educational standpoint (for me) - you mentioned you were in close-down when the play developed. Did you have time to back out wide? A wider vision would have made it easier to see B2. I had a situation once where I swore up and down the guy had position - until I saw the tape. My evaluator said I needed to be wider to be able to see the whole play start to finish, including the defender sliding in. Not saying that's what happened here, but same principles apply.

Remember back in the summer when someone posted links to video clips - and there was that bang-bang B/C play that no one could agree on? This sounds like one of those.

Whew - hope you had a cold one after that - you earned it.
