Throughout this thread, my only criticism had been of the crew allowing the run to score. I've supported everything that I saw U1 do on the play, including the non INF call as it is his judgement.
But after reading that statement, all I can say is WTF?
I can't believe how he could say that to his crew or the UIC. His eyes (actually his head) never seemed to move away from the runner and the bag, nor did it appear that he, at any point, got screened by any of the players. I was impressed that he stayed with the play, despite all the chaos, and was right there for the out call on the tag. So his statement really has me scratching my head.
Question Andy, any mention by the UIC of video of the play being reviewed with the crew after the game?
