Lets take this play and put it in a high school environment in a rivalry game. We wont have that luxury at that level and will have to live and die with a call like this. What you hope is that one of the two cameras have a good look at this play so that you have something to stand on after the fact with the coaches / assignor unless you are a very tenured and respected guy in that league (I realize not all leagues are coaches leagues).
More than likely, after the game, would a blurry DVD shot from your basic home edition sony cam corder support this call? Do we care?
Do factors like this lead people to pass in high school and let it go OT?
Be honest - If you had this play in your biggest rivalry game under similar circumstances (under 2 or 3 seconds), do you take the foul or pass?

Do you take all that into consideration when making your calls? I don't. I can't think that fast. I have trained myself to make calls without thinking about the consequences, and I have done well with that philosophy so far.
