Well, I have seen officials make many mistakes and often times they are rules mistakes. And you know what, not a coach said a single word. Maybe other officials watching in the stands realized there was a rules mishaps, but the coaches and many times fans were clueless (like that is a surprise
). Let me ask you this, how many times have you made the absolute right call and you caught hell for it by coaches? You have much more to worry about then just missing a rule, you have to sell your calls too.
