Our college supervisor gave us these guidelines when deciding to call KCI or not.
1. Was his head still up, if so, flag it. (his head comes down pretty quickly after he catches it so if not down yet, then flag)
2. Was he able to get the ball secured? If not, flag it. (arms still extended... couldn't tuck it away yet...)
I also have given my BJ on our NF crew one other thing to think about. I tell him that if he is sure, have a flag on the ground, but if in doubt, if the ball is muffed, flag it but if not muffed, don't flag it. I repeat, he will have a flag if he is sure, no matter if muffed or not. He will have no flag if he is sure no KCI, whether muffed or not. He uses the muff/flag and no mufff/no flag only when in doubt. I think that is a good philosophy when in doubt.
