I know it's open season on announcers here but let's be fair. Kellogg admitted it was a good call. He said he like to see the rule changed (use the semicircle) but that the way the rule is written it was a good call. Enberg wanted the official to ignore the rule, but Kellogg didn't, he just put his opinion out there that he doesn't like it.
