Suggested Mechanic Change

Wow. I really feel for the official who waved this off. I can't imagine a worse feeling after a game.

Assuming that the L and/or C had definite knowledge, I don't understand why one of them didn't go to the T and offer their information. I always cover this in pregame, because a similar thing happened to my closest friend. He waved off a ball that went in, and when he got to the locker room, his partner told him "it was definitely good". The film confirmed it. Why take that info to the locker room with you?

If it's a bang-banger that you have to watch four times on film to be sure, then you live and die with the T's call. In a play that is as obvious as this one seemed to be, partners have to help. Get the play right.
