True, but if it gets posted again you have no one to blame but yourself.

Take the heat, own it, learn, and move on.

I think the important thing is the crew got it right in the end. It may have been worse had you not called him on it.

Somebody needs to post it since there are new guys who have no clue what y'all are talking about.

Agreed. I'm always up for learning from (what sounds like) others' mistakes.

Here's a link

One of our own was the official administering this throw in, not the one who made the call.

Rich, can you remind us: Were there ANY repercussions for the official who went all Al Haig on that play? Any scolding form the assignor, any reduction in quality assignments, any similar tales pop up of him fouling something up?

This isn't necessarily to beat up on him. (He does that to himself just fine.) Just wondering how things unfolded.

Big ups to Amesman for the Alexander Haig reference.

Does this mean we can refer to Rich as "GHWB"?
