I thought about this a little bit and decided that I tend to make close calls louder, more clearly and with more body english than routine calls. While not a conscious attempt to sell the call, I think that it does serve the purpose of making coaches and fans think before challenging it. After all, I'm the closest one to it, and if I am THAT sure then maybe he was out/safe after all? There will be exceptions of course but I think there is some value to it.

BTW - Yes you can tell him you are not interested in his opinion, but it might make for a difficult dynamic the next time you have to work together. LOL
