Anyone ever thought of just yelling "TIE!" and letting the players figure it out?
I thought I would try that maybe one time, but anyway...
If the runner beats the throw, it belongs to the runner.
If the throw beats the runner, it belongs to the defense.
If they both get there at the same time, it belongs to me.
Make a decision and sell the call. It's a judgment. That's why we get paid the big bucks.
