Of course you say it so much more eloquently than my evaluators.....
Naw, not more eloquently. Just simpler imo. I wasn't trying to be a wise-azz but that term "game interrupter" causes more confusion than anything else being taught in my experience. They tried to teach me the concept of having a patient whistle many moons ago. The concept hasn't changed but they keep coming up with new ways to explain it.

In my experience, most of the time that an evaluator tells someone they called a "game interrupter", all that they're really saying is that you made a wrong call. They should explain to you at the same time exactly why they thought that you made a wrong call. And in the case that you stated, it was because you didn't wait that extra half-second to see whether anyone was really getting an advantage through that contact. That's teaching...and learning.

Again, jmo.
