Larry,
I agree with you on all the possibles of when/why we can't always be ahead of the play. And I'm probably not as good of an official as the guy I'm talking about. I make mistakes every game but I put forth much effort to work a game. As we all know it is much easier to make statements about a sitch. here on a web page or at a game from the sideline than when you are on the floor & have to make that split-second decision.

Of course his angle was different than mine. I was not working the game. I don't mean to be too critical because I have made the same call in similar cases. I guess my point is that I really make a big effort to be ahead of the play, except with your noted exceptions.
