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.

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.
