I think we all know what he means, and it's a naïve thought process.
I have no idea what he means in this situation. Usually when people say that they are talking about not calling a foul or violation and even that is absurd to think that. I am just focusing on the call whether I got this call right, not trying to make a call that everyone is going to like. Someone is going to likely think you got it wrong even if you are totally right (look at the other close call posted recently).

Peace

Right. I believe he means, swallow the whistle, and it is absurd.

You have to tell everyone something either way in this situation. Not anything for you to swallow at this point.

Peace

I think he means: IF the score is already tied, waive it off. If the blue team is behind by 2, count it. That way, the teams get to play some more, and maybe the officials won't have to make the hard decision 4 minutes later.

Lah me.
