I have a bit of a problem with the last part of this guideline. Something we haven't called all game - fine. Most everyone can agree that 0.2 seconds left is not the time to have your first 3-second call of the game. That said, I don't give 2 dexters whether or not "the masses" agree with my last-second call. If I have a call at the end of the game, and I'm SURE of that call, I'm making it. If grandma up in the 25th row wants to go home thinking I'm a son of a dexter - so be it!
