I'm sure that's true sometimes. And I'm sure there are times they thought they were right only to be proven otherwise. Either way, it feels so good to be proven right by replay. So why would they take the chance?

I doubt it. It saves them the hassle of dealing with the angry coach. Instead of arguing the call, he throws the flag and they look at replay.

I think for all sports but football, no official has changed the way they call based on the existence of replay. There's no desire to get it wrong because you can be bailed out. To assert this is, in my opinion, asinine.

In FOOTBALL, though ... it has changed things. The referee is more apt to rule, on the spot, in whichever way he needs to rule that doesn't stop the play. And apparent turnover, where an official used to be 80% sure the knee was down, he used to blow the play dead. Now he lets play proceed, because a wrong turnover call can be fixed, but a wrong dead ball call (except in very limited instances) can't.

I bet the two judges in the Arkansas /Virginia Tech punt fumble fiasco wish they didnt rule that play dead.

The penalty saved them, from what I understand.

Yep, that made that 5 minutes even more entertaining.

Agree, and even more true in MLB. Baseball has become almost as civil as croquet in recent years.
