Pulled Foot - A first

[WindyCityBlue]

Let me remind you all, that a judgement call means in my judgement! Yes I am there to get the calls right but that is for the rules (OBS, INTF, BOO and things like that).

So you only get paid for interpreting the rules, not your judgement. Cool gig!

Help to make that judgement is one thing but when we start reversing judgement calls left and right, we may as well let the coaches take care of the calls and we'll sit on the side lines.

Talk about a need for de-caf...
Take a step back and realize that we are not questioning YOUR judgement here. The premise for this discussion is to recognize the need to get the call right. I can be out of position, blocked or just didn't get a good look at the play - it happens. I can and do ask for help and would rather look bad than penalize the player. We get paid to make the game fair, if your ego won't allow you to change your call when your partner clearly saw the ball hit the ground or the foot come off the bag, then you should stop taking the money . Most players begin their season long before we get out gear out of storage. They deserve to get it right.
