That sounds wonderful, but what if they are completely wrong? What if they "think" they saw something that the official in their primary clearly saw? One of the things about travel calls as this is commonly missed. I do not want an official calling a travel when they might not have seen the entire play. Usually travel calls are the first thing I comment in the locker room about. Usually a partner called something that did not happen. I just know if at the end of the game you make a call like that, you better be right. This play will be reviewed over and over if a team loses based on that possession.

Peace
