I would have to agree with the other scholars who say no call... I think many of us look go back in our officiating carrers and shudder at a "guess call" we made that we would love to have back.
If you did not see a play I would think that taking your lump from a coach and moving on is less severe than guessing and having them on you the whole game.
But I think the biggest reason against guessing is the use of video, and ESPN, officials mistakes are often sent around the world long before the supervisor hears about it, and if it is an obvious guess you could be done depending on the price of the guess.
