Our integrity is questioned all the time. There are degrees of that behavior. Every time you hear a reference to the foul count, that is a questioning of your integrity and I do not know most official that would automatically call a T if that issue was raised.

One that I will call the same way 100% of the time.
That may be true it is just another call to you, but it is not just another call to all other parties. And if you make a call that no one hears, then unless you have such a reputation that is beyond reproach, it might get into a he said/he said kind of situation. I would like a call like this to be as obvious as possible.
