I don't disagree with anything you wrote, except, "You are missing the larger point."

I didn't suggest these officials did the wrong thing. I answered a general question with a general answer. The fact is some officials are reluctant to call this because they think it was their fault, not the coach's. I never said these particular officials were guilty of this; in fact, I specifically allowed for an alternate theory; that the level of ball contributed to their decision. I also stated that while I may or may not disagree with that, it's certainly not in the same category as the "spineless" variety of no-call.
