I must be missing something. Where above does it say that the official screwed up on the play being discussed? how do you know that it wasn't a table error? Most correctable errors are in my experience.

You'd better be prepared to catch flak on every single call that you make, and especially on the tough ones that you absolutely nail. You never know what is going to set any coach or player off. It's just the nature of the beast. And if it happens, you deal with it. Shrug.
