But, I would bet some that have piled on will say "get the call right" as an excuse to watch the ball all over the court.

Isn't it obvious that Rut is even questioning if this crossed the line? I don't recall him ever saying this is what he did, he knows it was right and that is all there is to it. IMO, he posted because he wasn't 100% sure about the call.

I will be ready and waiting to pounce on some posters if/when they do something that is questionable. But then again, we know some wouldn't even post anything they did wrong in the first place.

The one thing nobody's picked up on is Rut's posting history -- Rut is clearly not someone who looks all over the court and runs around trying to overturn calls.

If I'm working with a regular partner whose history I know (and he's like Rut) and he come running in, well, then I'm going to listen.

Too many black-and-white answers in this thread. Officiating is much more gray in nature.
