Sorry, but if you fail to make any CORRECT and APPROPRIATE call, you lack both good judgment and courage imo.

And also imo you won't get to the NCAA D1 level, and stay there, if you make up weak excuses for not making the correct call.

Just some advice for any official that agrees with Mwanr1...take it fwiw....it is NOT a good idea to tell your evaluator after the game that you heard a legitimate TO request, but that you ignored it because you knew his team was out of TO's and the request wasn't discernable to everybody in the crowd. Not a good idea imo.

I guess we'll just have to disagree on this one. Mwanr1.
