Disconcertion

I think that there is a diffference between calling plays, yelling block out or rebound, etc. at a point in time when a player has the ball and yelling them at the time of rrelease (in order to disconcert the shooter). If they do the latter and clearly time it so that it is when the shooter is about to release the ball, call it. This is a new game - call it consistently within that game. And if you believe it is the right call, call it consistently the rest of your career.

You cannot be held to the standard of how you officiated previously. If you were held to that standard, you would never improve. If you get questioned and want to explain your new call, let them know that you thought it was wrong the last time you saw them do it, you got some clarification that your instinct was correct, and you will be calling it this way from here on in!
