I am not trying to convince anybody of anything, I have called college ball for 10 years, a few D1 non conference games, but mostly NAIA and JUCO. I had great evaluations, but I coach High School ball so I just do summer and fall ball now. Lighten up fellas.

Thanks for all the advice, that is why I joined the boards.
IMO, no-one "got on you"

Your OP was very confusing to say the least. You started your OP saying you made a call on a play that belongs to the PU. All indications in your opening post indicated to me and I believe others as well that you in FACT had the dish.

Then later on you tell us that were the BU.

IMO, that's where others includes myself started questioning you.

Even though it's fall ball I cannot understand why you as BU made a call that does not belong to you or try to explain your partners call to a coach. It doesn't make any sense and as mentioned was very confusing.

Therefore, no one was getting on "your case" just questioning your mechanics based upon your description of events.
