Steve,
Thanx for your detailed and concise reply. As usual, your answer is clear and logical. I think the key for me was the part about our being able to recognize the play that is being attempted. My first reaction would be to make the call in that situation and I was looking for some experienced explanation about how to do so.
When you mentioned "no ball, no call", I remembered that. In fact, I've had plays like that and made no call as you described.
Also, thanx for the "w".
I actually do know how to spell "wrath" - must've been lazy with the proofreading.
