General statement, no particular call noted.
No, but as an umpire you should be aware of the circumstances that may have lead to what some may say was a missed/kicked call. It always looks different from another angle, that is why, as umpires, we occassionally go to partners for help.
Defend? Maybe not. Agree? Maybe not. Understand? Absolutely
