Too many years of experience to buy what's being sold, I'm afraid.
Even if they make the call the same way every time?

Then they should tone everything down.

If you make the same call the same way every time, then you aren't really "selling" anything.

Then maybe selling isn't the right word from it. There's a world of difference between lazy mechanics and a strong call that makes people think twice before they start complaining about it.

I couldn't agree more.

Yep. And a sharp, yet relaxed (not "selling") call can often sell a call just as well as a sharp, aggressive, call.

Hello officials, I'm new to things and after seeing the video 5 times in slow motion I thought the screen was illegal only because the setters left foot was still sliding over while the right foot was planted. I thought this was a bang bang play and only a well trained eye would call it illegal.

Actually you have that the other way around.

Unfortunately, that point is irrelevant. There is no part of the screening rule that requires the feet to be planted. Is the body in the path or not in time? That is all you need to know.
