I think it was absolutely a gutsy call. We can talk all we want about all calls being the same but the truth of the matter is that all whistles are not equal and some calls are bigger and require more fortitude than others.
As evidenced by the discussion in this thread this was a call that is subject to a lot of scrutiny with differing opinions. I applaud Greene for being convinced in what he saw and not being afraid to make what he believed was the correct call when IMO many other officials, high level officials too, would not have put air in it in that situation.

I tend to agree with this observation as well. Certainly room for debate but I liked the call for this reason.
