There it is. I also believe in seeing the whole play through, judging advantage/disadvantage.

I'm not a big fan of "right call, wrong time." I'm more to the liking of, "that's the wrong call, BECAUSE of the wrong time." Of course, much of it is subjective.

Speaking of which, did that Gardiner game get much airplay in your preseason meetings?

Nope, I don't believe it was ever discussed. We watched a fair amount of video in our big Saturday pre-season meeting, but it's a lot easier to watch and critique officials when they're out of state.
