So, the call is, as I've said all along, predetermined based on who has primary coverage (whether it is based on location, origination, secondary defender, etc.). The only discussion is about who had coverage (or at least who should have had coverage) and, even if they were completely wrong, their call stands. The discussion is NOT about who actually saw what but who should have seen what. That is no guarantee that the call will be the correct one. Therefore, I stand by my earlier assertion that the NCAA-W mechanic will still lead to the worst case of being 200% wrong some of the time by getting it completely backwards due to defaulting to the primary official.
For anyone that is actually discussing what each person saw (defender was late, stuck out the knee, etc.), they're not actually following the mechanic but are doing their own thing. Such a thing is not necessarily a bad idea but it is not the defined mechanic.
