That's a problem.
Lucky call. One of these days the ball might simply drop out of the glove, and you'll be calling an interference that didn't occur and that you didn't see.
Don't let the coach's IQ influence your "judgment".
Assumption is an umpire's worst enemy.
If you can't trust your own eyesight, maybe it's time for a new avocation?
Better not pat yourself on the back, because your methods of making calls just aren't going to cut it.

I''m going to be brutally honest with you, friend. All that you said would be exactly correct if all of our games were called in a
vaccum. But seeing as we're not afforded the luxury of calling games that way, there are times when we
all have been straight lined, used too quick timing on calls, or incorrectly anticipated where a play would develop, not seeing everything we should have. Our goal every time out should be to eliminate these things from happening to us, but it's unrealistic to think yourself or anyone else beyond these type of mistakes. We're human after all. Since I know for a fact you're not above reproach yourself, you might want to lighten up a bit on how you dole out your advice.............
