DRc.and MJ- Even if he/she blew the call, I dont think I would/should ever ask my partner to change a call from an inadvertent whistle to a violation in this situation. While I think it is very important to get the call right, looking at the clock and doing the math shouldnt influence the decision. In your example the clock ticked off 13 seconds and you think the inadvertent whistle should be changed to a violation. But...What if the your partner calls 10 seconds and only 9 ticked off the board? Do you ask him to change the violation to an inadvertent whistle? I agree with Bart, trust the call your partner made, all our counts are different. If the ncaa and nf wanted precise counts we would all be carrying stop watches. Although I shouldnt say that, it might give someone on the rule board a bad idea.
