Precisely. I only am saying that a call that was a poor call lead to the circumstances that drew the T compounding the magnitude of the situation.
I never said or implied anything questing the integrity or honesty of the official....just that his poor call selection had a greater impact than the call itself.
An as far as how many here are agreeing with the IF, it is a very small number....I think I only saw 1 or 2. They player's hand was reaching right at the ball. He doesn't have to be successful at getting the ball for it to be common. We also tend to automatically support other officials who call T's, sometimes without objectively considering the situation.
