2. If I am fortunate enough to call another ASA game, I will call it as my ASA UIC says to call it, and I advise others to do the same. Same for NFHS. And if I get real fortunate and get to do (gasp!) another college game, I will call it the way they (NCAA) want it called.

No arguments here, but I have somewhat of a devilish question for you.
What happens when you attend a school, clinic, seminar of any of the org. noted and find out that your local UIC was either incorrect or interjecting personal preference/interpretation into his/her teachings that are not in line with the respective org. rules? How do you call it then?
