I was just stating how we avoid some mistakes. I guess I better keep my thoughts to myself. Dave
Dave, no one is "slamming" you, from what I see. What we are saying is that we, as arbiters of the game, should go by the book and call em like we see em. We should never "mirror" our partner's call just to help him save face, or for any other reason. If we are not honest, and make the call honestly as we see it, then we are doing a disservice to the game and an injustice to its players, fans and coaches.
