Well, you had a very experienced D1 official that didn't think it was picky boolsh!t. What is "marginal" on any call is in the eye of the beholders imo--the "beholders" usually being the calling official and someone sitting in the fourteenth row. The calling official's supervisor will let him know whether it was marginal or not. That's who counts.
And as for "game interrupters", imo that may be the stoopidest concept that some yoyo trying to immortalize himself in officiating history could possibly come up with as his own personal catchphrase contribution. Every time you blow your whistle in the game, you interrupt the flow. And now it seems like any time that someone disagrees with a call that another official made, they try to justify their disagreement with the call by tsk-tsk'ing that it's a "flow interrupter". The only thing that I've really learned from this wonderful new concept is that officiating nirvana is a game where you never had to blow your whistle.
Iow, if someone wants to disagree with an official's call, then just do so. Say "hey, imo that was a cheap "T" that he called on the player for hanging on the rim". I don't have a problem with that and never have. Well, except maybe for fanboys like fiasco who don't know or understand the rules.
All that is just a difference of opinion and a difference of judgment. Please, don't try to tell me that interrupting the game has anything to do with any call though. It's just not relevant in any way imo.
Sorry for the rant, but that one hits me like the "stopsign" hits Tomegun.
