The thing that I will say, and I believe it to be true, the further you go up the officiating ladder, the more this type of ruling is not only common, it is expected. If you are the only one calling it "by the book", in this case, you will not last long at that level.
I still disagree with this. After all, men's NCAA still doesn't give this ruling, and that's about as high as 99% of us could expect to go.

The best advice about this whole issue is, call it the way your supervisor wants it called, regardless of your personal opinion.
Call it like your supervisor wants it called is right, but you are wrong about the NCAA mens. It is not an "official" ruling, but it is the way that the play is called at that level. All of my friends, and partners, who call at that level have said this is how the play should be called.
