And I said nothing about "coaches being in a different box" either. I just know that explanation to the vast majority of the coaches I deal with would end up being very problematic.
At the end of the day your crew got the play right and the explanation worked for you in that situation. All good.
But I strongly disagree that the scenario did not need an explanation. It most certainly did. You were just fortunate, IMO, that the coaches accepted the one you gave them without further issue.

It wasn't factually incorrect. We were confused on the last play and the calling official didn't think it'd change the outcome of the game. What I said is basically exactly what happened. We just fixed what initially was called.
Thinking something would be problematic and what would actually happen are two very different things. I can't even remember that last time I had a major problem with a coach and I wasn't worried about them during this game.
I'm fortunate for many things, but this isn't one of them. The
worst case scenario is a coach asks another question because he didn't like what I said. Zero harm done as I just better explain what happened. There have been some great responses on a better way to handle mucking up a call, but nothing could've possibly gone wrong here(At the point I was talking to the coaches. they were already calmed down at this point and just wanted to know what went on). Again, worst case the coaches ask me another question.
