My position is not whether someone is unhappy. My position and you added something to the call like making it clear someone is choosing one over another.

That assumes that we pick the right one. I do not see how choosing makes the call "right" or that the other official had it totally incorrect. We see when only one whistle is blown how an official gets that play wrong. The remedy is not to be in that situation at all. But that does not mean we still will not have disagreements, but the rules make it a bigger issue if we both signal. I have no problem with the way the NF or NCAAM has it. And if they changed it to what NCAAW do, I would not be totally happy. NCAAW IMO have a bigger problem because they tend to not stop the clock for much of anything.

Peace
