So Billy...did you tell the friendly fan that the official kicked the call?
Or did the official indeed kick the call?
That's the problem with sitting with fans...they are going to look to the official in the stands to legitimize their complaints...be it by our "friendly explanations" or even by our facial expressions.
IMO...we have to be very careful not to throw our "partners" under the bus, even with a friendly explanation or frown on a call.
But, I'm sure you know that...just throwing it out here.
