I agree that it was not a blown call, but a judgement call which you could make a case for either way. In this situation, I would have no problem calling the "T". In my judgement, the "T" is best called by the official who the coach is on, but I understand (as Cameron stated well) that protocol may be different in different areas of the country. My point (that I still stand by) is that we need to be able to take more heat when we know we kick a call, than when we know we are correct. I agree that this doesn't give coaches an open invitation to abuse us with no consequences, but I also think our tolerance level should be much higher in these situations. I think to expect a coach to sit there and take it when we both know we screwed them (not intentionally, I know) is an unrealistic expectation.
