Having said that, each of us have to decide what type official we want to be. The one that puts image first, or the one that truly understands what their (sic) there for.
Putting image first can easily mean different things to different officials. Some I know want to have the image of an official who is open to go to his partner any time asked and be known as an offical who is ready to change his call.
While others I know truly understand that that is not what officials are about. They know they have to work hard to minimize the necessity of getting help. They know that once they start getting help just because they were asked, they have opened a door that will never close. Coaches remember these things and will come out questioning every close call. "You got help last inning!"
Sometimes you have to say no.
The decision to change or not change a call, will be relatively easy after that.
You bet.
