You make the call. Over and back - or not?

All I am saying is that you better be sure. Because if you just think they ran the play a couple of time and you call this a BC violation, you will find yourself in an arguement. Because the coach will claim it was a shot. So all I am saying is do not just assume, give some benefit of the doubt if there was clearly no attempt to shoot and the other player was clearly attempting to go up and make a play on the ball.

This is just judgement that is all.

Judgement is why we get paid the big bucks Rut. If it has been a pattern all game, and it quacks like a duck, I am going to call it as such.

I would rather take heat from the coach I called it on, than the one who I didn't call it for. Common sense and judgment play into every call and interpretation of the rules, but if I am 99.9% sure that was a pass, I am not going wuss out and call it a shot just to avoid the heat.
