And that right there would be my biggest gripe with the whole "game management" way of thinking. I can't even begin to count the number of times a supervisor or evaluator has used a line like" What do you think the coach thought of that call?" or "How do you think that looked to the blue coach?" - and then used that to lead into a discussion on their thoughts about "game management"...my response to those questions is -and will be - "I have no idea what they thought. It was (or wasn't) a foul and that's why I did (or didn't) blow the whistle."
