5) All in all the call that was finally made was correct, isn't that a good thing? And guys, coaches get fired for losing games they have a great investment in how games are called (or in this single play, not called) and they MUST be given the leeway that is seen.
I think the call was finally correct and done as well as possible. It was almost a "Third World Play" that any D1 coach would have legitimately questioned it.

From the view that I had,it looked like the Trail looked off the ball just before the travel-maybe because there was no real pressure-and that's why he missed it.Been there-done that.The C did a good job bringing it to the T's attention and taking the call over.The trail was smart enough to let the C do that.The guy's got the call correct,and that's all that matters,as you said.The Trail also did a good job keeping ol' Roy halfway under control too,until he had a chance to cool down.
