I disagree totally. Players don't get calls in the NBA, officials judge the action and rule accordingly (unless you're Donaghy )

Basketball is a different story than baseball. Lots more gray area in basketball... subjective judgment.

If something were to happen like in the OP, I would probably ignore it. Why? Because in the 1st inning, I'm probably ignoring it too if I'm not above 80% sure of my call. I would run down the call through a checklist, and if it can't pass call sustainability, I'm not calling it. Will I be able to sustain that level of call throughout the game? This principle is used primarily in basketball, but at times, perhaps we can use the same philosophy.

Another way to think about it. Lets say that exact play happens 3 times in the game. I'm 60% OBS on each one. If I call OBS on every one, there is only a 21% chance I got them all right...

Plays like the one above, there is no call until proven otherwise. If I am sure I have an OBS in the bottom of the 7th, I'll take it, but if I'm not sure, I'll pass on it.

Just my .02.
