I'm BU, PU is experienced NCAA guy with years under his belt. Pop up to foul territory F5 is moving to it, runs into coach. No catch, foul.
PU calls obstruction... and thats it... no out.. no nothing.. just a wrong call.
UIC was watching it and after game asked "what happened on that play" - I tell him I saw INT but didnt want to step on my partner who had already blown the call.
End of story.(well except the heckling I and the UIC gave him after the game for his brain fart)
I stand by what I did.. coach never asked for help. Partner never asked for help.. all was well that ended well (I guess), but there was definitely a blown call by a very good umpire that I clearly saw differently.
It happens. Sometimes ya gotta be a team for better or worse IMO.
