This is a "feel" thing - it's very hard to illustrate via the written word in a chat room. The reason why the officials you see working the games on TV this time of year are there, is because they have mastered this "feel".

Unbelievable also.....

I disagree completely with you too. There's no "feel" at all to it. You're doing nothing but interjecting your own personal opinion into the game instead of calling the game consistently. By the last minute of the game, the players should absolutely know what they can do and what they can get away with. Guys like you and Nate just confuse the hell outa them instead.

And that's a complete pile of phooey too for you to claim that the officials working games on tv are slavishly following your own personal opinion. Heckuva way to try and add a l'il credibility to yourself, but that dog don't hunt. I got eyes too. The guys that are still working in the tournament are the ones that have the best judgement and are consistent, not the one's swallowing their whistles at the end of a tight game. That's my opinion.
