If I moved to a small town, I wouldn't call there.
I agree, completely. The pressures would be enormous. On top of that, in those areas where travel between cities isn't exactly simple, not calling in your home town wouldn't really be an option.

My next question for the coach here would be whether he felt both officials were homers, or just the one?
