Of course, I agree.

However, I also agree with M&M. You should call ALL no doubters against both teams from the beginning to the end of every game. If there is ANY doubt about ANY call, you shouldn't be making that call. That's called "guessing".

I don't think Welmer would disagree with that either. Saying that we should make sure that our first call in a game against either team is a no-doubter is a pretty standard philosophy at all levels.

Personally, I disagree with any philosophy that gets into worrying about any calls that might be made differently between the home and visiting teams. Call consistency is much more important imo.
