I had a coach tell me once that the foul count was 12-3. I told him I was surprised. He asked me why I was surprised. I told him I was surprised he could count to 12 without taking his shoes off. He thought it was funny. Oh yeah - I knew the guy pretty well.

For example, what I want to say: "You know what coach, I'm not sure we're watching the same game. You keep begging for calls that my partners and I have not seen. But, being the nice guy I am, I will still acknowledge your complaints, and perhaps there's a chance we've actually missed something, so we'll work harder to see if we can see the same things you do." What I actually say: "I hear you coach." Same point gets communincated, but in a lot shorter time.

This, as always, is debatable. Subtlety is often wasted on me. I don't really know what this means.

We all know there are times you can admit mistakes and times you can't. If I blew a call and I believe the coach is going to react favorably to that admission, then you're darn right I'll say, "Coach, I missed that one. I apoligize." But if I'm not on best terms with the coach because he thinks I'm biased or one of my partners, his team is getting stomped, etc...I am going to put him in the situation to explain himself while he vents. As a lot of us know, coaches just like to vent. -Josh |

Where in the NF Officials Manual does it say this? I realize it would be bad to do so, but I'm not sure you can state "can't" as an absolute without any exception pertaining to this.

Short, simple statements work best, IMO. "Maybe I missed that one", "Maybe I didn't get the best look on that play", "I didn't see that play the same way you did". For outright flub-ups: "Coach, you're right, I blew that call"

OK, I'll ask: why on earth would anyone in his right mind deny that signaling a foul constitutes calling it?

Are you suggesting this case play refers to both officials actually reporting the foul to the table? If it means something beyond the signal, what does it mean? The options as I see them: 1. "calls" equals "signals" in this case. 2. "calls" means reporting the fouls. 3. "calls" means both officials refuse to back down.

"Calling" a foul means to report the foul. This occurs at the table, not at the spot of the foul. |

Hmmmmm ~ glad you cleared that up, I was always under the impression that we "called" the foul at the spot & "reported" them to the table.
