Sell your calls better.

Selling calls has nothing to do with whether they agree with your calls. Sorry, you can be completely right and they will still have an opinion of a call. And calling this an illegal screen and a coach disagreeing with you, they would be right and still would go off if they choose to.

I guess I should've colored my text blue.

As far as your response, try selling your calls better. There's a world of difference in responses from coaches/fans when they go, "Oh !@#$, I think he saw something there!"

My former interpreter always said that the best bad call is a strong bad call.

To be fair, if someone routinely makes bad calls, I'm not sure how much hope there is for them!

I more meant along the lines of something like a block/charge situations where the boos are about to start and after I'm done they just give up.

When I see someone *really* sell a call, I immediately assume they didn't see the play or are trying to convince people of an incorrect call.

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.
