If I hadn't of called it, I would have had some explaining to do to that coach. I've continued to call it as the rule says to.

Exactly! If the powers that be don't want that called, they can change the rule.
The last thing we need is to need a secret decoder ring to know which rules are rules and which ones are not. One of my pet peeves is people who make things up...either to call or to not call....that have no basis in the rules even by way of liberal interpretation.
