I agree with Bob M 100%.
We had a championship game a few years back. Time was running out in the half and the offense ran the old "Hook & Ladder". The receiver caught the ball falling and tossed a backward pass to a teammate trailing. The LJ took off with the play which was at least thirty yards down field for an apparent TD. The U allowed the LJ to make the call, but when he didn't - he started blowing his whistle, went to the spot where the receiver’s knee was on the ground and started pounding the ground - really sold his call! Replay (not official) confirmed the receiver’s knee was on the ground before releasing the ball. That would have been a huge swing in that game if not for an alert U.
But as Bear Bryant once told Dick Burleson - You'd better be right!
