Yes, at lower levels, it has to be the textbook example of the IF. If it's not obviously IF, I don't call it.

Been burned by calling it, never burned by not calling it. If it's not the obvious call and they still catch it, the runners are safe. If it's not the obvious call and they drop it, they won't get a double play anyway, and you can always say it wasn't ordinary effort, because if all it took was ordinary effort, they'd have caught it.
