Did I say that??
"Sometimes the official with the best open look isn't the one who should be making the call"
It just depends...

I would hope the C is weak side in most cases and the L probably shouldn't be making that call anyway.

We agree, but there are so many factors when determining if reaching out is worth it & then there is also the timing.
I believe if you reach, the whistle should be a little late, Give the official who is supposed to make the call an opportunity to make it. Maybe he/she was being patient on the contact.
