1)If you aren't 100% sure,it's a jump ball. 2)If you're not certain of the contact,it's not a foul. 3)If you're not sure of ANY call,don't make the call. [/B][/QUOTE] We may just be playing a word game here. There have been a lot of comments on other threads about being decisive, selling calls, and yes, even about having court presence. Let's look at it this way. Don't we all have calls every night that we thought were easy calls that draw a huge negative reaction from players and coaches. Yes, sometimes this is due to lack of rule knowledge. Sometimes they are just being difficult. But sometimes we are wrong. Recently there was a quote that an official had made that went something like, "I'm just saying that's what I saw, I'm not saying that is what happened." When I say that I am not 100% certain of every call, I am acknowledging that I am sometimes (often?) wrong. I personally find it no more distasteful to be wrong on a call than on a no-call.
