No seriously there is no correct answer to this question but it does generate self criticism and that is good. The point of it all is to think about your movement and positioning and having good judgement on what should be called and what you pass on.
Statistically even the greatest officials miss things because of less than ideal positioning. They also pass on 10-15% of the violations and fouls that they see and they do it because they have great judgement. This was passed on to me over the years at many clinics/camps I attended,mostly in the USA.

I think the point has been made and we can all think about it from here on in even those who chose not to comment.
Thanks for the feed-back it was what I expected.

All you proved was that this post had no real point at all. Because in the end, who cares what we think we call or think we miss. It is only going to matter to those that can watch the tape of a game and even then, it is only going to give you part of the story.

Peace
