You're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing too. You're worried about doing your job properly. That's all that you can control. What a single coach thinks about one call in a game really is irrelevant. Coach's have got a different agenda entirely, as pointed out by good ol' Bob's statement. You could make the right call, and the coach could still lose his job because that call cost him the game. Bob kinda forgot about that.

Coach Bob's statement has nothing to do with the realities of college officiating. You will be judged on your total body of work, not one lonely call. I'm still waiting to meet the official that has never missed or blown a call.

That was my point.
