It's nuts! I don't think the burden should be placed on the opposing coach. Not sure if we are talking 2 man or 3 man crews, but it's someone who is getting paid to officiates job to get that right. You are correct, it isn't a judgement call. That doesn't remove the blame from those who were suppose to be responsible. We are suspending (or threatening to) officials fro missing judgement calls in close games at the end....WV vs Syracuse and its the coach of the team who benefits from an officials error to speak up. NO WAY!! I'm sure Jim Boheim knew it was a goaltend but he isn't stopping the game to say...it was, he is right.
Likewise, in a gym full of load, crazy fans, if you have 300 people screaming at you that the basket didn't go in and they tell you this at the table are you really going to change your call if the opposing coach walks down and says differently. Remember, you or your partner (s) saw it go in....that's why you are in this place to begin with. You going to look at your partner and say "well, he said it didn't go in."
Bottom line: YOU CAN'T MISS IT!! If you do, carry on and hope the tape never surfaces. Don't blame the other coach...lol
