Does anyone else realize the contradiction, not in this thread, but on the board about plays like this? If a poster is the lead and sees something, it is OK to go ask your partner a question. If someone is a trail and the lead makes a wrong call then we talk to the lead to try and talk him/her out of the call.

How about this, quit watching the ball, trust your partner and officiate the game. I might live in a vacuum, although that vacuum would have had to be in Arizona, Nevada, Maryland, DC and Mississippi, but high school officials that I've seen just need to worry about keeping things basic and looking in their primary. The honest truth is that for every "game-saving" call officials make in a high school game there are probably 8-10 BS calls they could have made or passed on before then. IMO this is just getting ridiculous.
