Credibility

You are not trying to gain credibility, you trying to get the call correct. I don't like the L making this call but if he does he better come strong closing hard and shouting at the same time. Because as soon as his whistle is blown heads are turning 45 degrees saying "whattttt". Lead is looking across the paint through the players 40 feet away blowing his whistle. He is all by himself when that whistle is blown and only thing he can do is bring everyone to that play with his whistle, words and (Tom and Jerry) his two feet running. IMO
