Calling Time

[johnSandlin]

You want to be very carefull about when to and when not to call time as the other comments have reflected.

I made the mistake of calling time right in the middle of a pick off attempt in a big game one time, and it was not pretty to sort through.

We ended up sending the runner back to his previous base he because he had not be tagged out to the point of when time was called. He was only tagged out because of stopping because of hearing me call time.

The defensive coach was livid with me (which he had a right to be) because it was my error (took my eye off of who had the ball) and I cost his team an out.
