I'm gonna shoot him an email right now. By the time game was over the play had slipped my mine. He'll be honest with me.

You're the first person I've had tell me this. I had never thought about backing out of my close down in this situation. I've asked this question before of evaluators (in camp and in JuCo games) but no one ever really gave me a solid answer. I should have the opportunity to work a few more 3-man games this month so I'll try it out next time I get caught in that predicament.
