I think that's a great way to approach the play and video in general from NCAA games. I want to see these videos for two reasons.

1. To see how the folks working at that level are calling it.
But more importantly and more significantly:
2. To see more plays and be able to figure out angles and anticipate situations that can help me get into better position to make proper calls.

There's a third reason that stems from my baseball playing days in my youth. When I played baseball, I would anticipate plays in my head and what I would do with the ball if it was hit to me in certain situations. I would envision those plays so that when they happened, my body was reflexive. It reduced my response time. I get the same benefit from reviewing these types of plays.
