No, this not one we live with. Who cares what it looks like aesthetically, what's important in a game deciding situation is whether or not the crew got the call right. This is far more important that a random OOB call.

We all saw the thread of the HS play-off game at Eastern Kentucky. If one of the other crew members had come in and told the Trail that the shot was obviously released in time and the Trail changed his called and counted the basket the film would have supported the decision and the right team would have advanced. And the CREW would have been lauded for getting the call right.
