I do not dispute any of this. This is not always an easy play. I just think that this more than likely blew up on him rather than him ignoring the rule or not knowing the rule as suggested by someone else.

I am sure I have messed up this call too in some situations. Calling this while running fast is not always the best way to get these calls right.
