That's not my call

[SMEngmann]

I'd like to add a couple of things: first, every official's goal is ultimately to get the call right, but there's a reason why officials have coverage areas. To fans, coaches and players an OOB call may be obvious, but as an official, I will not offer unsolicited help unless I am 110% sure that I saw the play differently than my partner, and even then, I will confer and let him make the call. A ball may have gone out off of blue, but white may have committed a foul and my partner wanted basically to save a foul call on an OOB play. Another instance when I might offer help is on a travel call, in which my partner can't see the ball, and I clearly see him lose possession, then I would offer help, but again, only if I'm positive. Sometimes I may have a different opinion on a play than my partner, but he's supposed to make that OOB call, and to offer constant opinions on every disagreement serves only to ask for more appeals and can undermine the integrity of the game.
