I would NEVER admit to a coach that I specifically did NOT see a play exactly as I called it, because that's the same as saying I have misapplied the rule. If you didn't see the catch at all, then you shouldn't have called it. Mick and his partner both believed they SAW a catch, and that's what they called, so your response is certainly much more appropriate.

So, Warren, who made an admission that they didn't see a play exactly as it was called? I don't see where any such admission was made.
My post merely agreed with the coach who stated we didn't see the ball come loose. If I called it a catch, I'd agree with that statement. That "admission" doesn't agree that the ball came loose. It, in fact, means that the call was made as it seen by the officials----A CATCH.
There are many things coaches see that I don't see, Warren.
Many coaches see there players safe when I see them out---and vice versa. Many coaches see balls when I see strikes---and vice versa. Many coaches may see obstruction and interference when I don't---and vice versa. It's true, Warren, we don't always agree on what we've seen, and I agree with any coach who tells me that. It doesn't mean I'm right or wrong about the call, and it doesn't mean I've called something I didn't see. It means we didn't see it the same way.
Please read a little closer, Warren, and try to understand what is written before throwing your darts.
Just my opinion,
