maybe that is why he is a "LONG TIME" DII/III official

Other than realizing the mistake difference men/women on the shot clock reset I think it is the right thing. We discuss things as BEAT THE TAPE.

not meaning to nitpick but after watching tape hundreds and hundreds of times the old adage "The tape don't lie" is BS when you only have one angle of the game! The only time the tape don't lie is with multiple camera angle games.

Also, don't try to "beat the tape" cause it sounds like your playing an odds game in which you might not win sometimes. Get the play right and if the tape lies to you with one angle so be it. I've seen hundreds of plays that don't look like much on a one angle tape but in fact, on the floor in the game they were absolutely legit!

Sorry to nitpick. I'm big on terminology!

BT - yes one angle of tape does not always make the perfect view, as does not one officials view. And Beat the tape probably is poor verbage.
But you when you are sitting in a locker room with you supervisor/assignor after a game - if right there on the tape it shows the ball rolling loose and you come running in with a held ball ... well you are probably going to be standing up for awhile from the a$$ chewing you are going to take.

Assignors and supervisors are savay enough to know how to view and interpret what the tape shows and doesn't.
So those terms are used more in terms of getting the call right as you saw it on the floor.
