I don't run around blindly guessing all the time, either. There are times when I think there was probably a foul and I simply didn't have a good look or good feel and passed. Usually I think, well, there was a $60 (cost of a third official) call and put it behind me. Doesn't mean I work any less hard to get in position, either -- we just can't be everywhere.

Naw, I'll change if I'm confronted with something reasonable. Advocating guessing on a call though is just completely wrong imho. And I ain't gonna change my mind on that.

So....shrug...we disagree.

I was agreeing with you. I've always said that an official who say he never guesses is kidding himself.

I don't always guess. Sometimes I mentally flip a coin.
