Actually they think we all watch the same darn thing anyway. And if you call something in what they think is in front of someone, they think that only that person should have had a whistle. Which is silly based on what we know to with our mechanics. Even if it is your line or it is a play right in front of them, they think you are supposed to "help them out."

And if you have two different calls, then you might just need to address the two different calls. For example a travel might have happen before a crash. Well it is proper to call a travel if you see one and if it was caused by a foul, then that should be addressed as well. Either way, if you have discussed this in pregame or have a basic philosophy, you often just tell the coach, "I had the same thing." How are they going to really know anyway? All they care about are the calls right. They will still argue with you if the call goes against them and they felt you did not get something in their favor. So who really cares what coaches, players or fans think.
