I agree with the use of instant replay, but not everytime an official wants to bail his/her ruling out of scrutiny because of improper positioning or "wondering of the eyes". I think by using instant replay we are taking the human error out of the game, which at one time made the game fun to watch. By having instant replay in sports to determine every knick picky ruling we are making the game a technological one and not a human one.
Geeze, let me look at the options:
1) review a 3-pointer that I'm not sure of and get the call right.
2) guess at a call that has to be made even though I'm not sure and then hope that I do get it right.

Hmmmmmmm.......tough decision knowing that my boss is gonna be looking at the tape no matter what.

Jmo but I think that you'd have to be an idiot not to go to the monitor.
