Nope.

Who wrote they would never change a call under any circumstance?

Would change your call if this happened to you??
Id give it to the kid, If he wants to be honest and do the right thing, by god, so be it. If only more people were like this in everyday life the world would be so much better...

But if more players were like this, their teams would lose more often.

Never admit guilt.

I would have more respect for a player if they just did not try to contest out of bounds call when they know we got it right the first time.

Peace

Agreed.

And even in that video, I can't tell if he touched it or not.

Wasn't that a rule that required such action?
