So the poll in the local paper is split, just like this forum. So, do you let the C make the call and go with it or get together, discuss and make a group decision.
If your the C do you allow your call to be overturned?

Does the fact its triple OT in state tourney change anything.

I just know that if I'm his partner and I don't feel 100% that shot was no-good then I'm not offering any opinion. The Trail does have a good look at both the red light LED and the shooter while the C is not in a great position to see the LED.

Hey, I'm an official. It's not the first time I've ever been wrong But I sure can't blame the crew for not getting this one if someone wasn't 100% sure.

Wasn't really directed at you, I also played at least 20 times to get right freeze frame.

How did you get the slo mo?

I have editing/capturing stuff (I work in TV) so I can get nerdy with these things when I have time

Maybe, but the R coming in to overrule this one is just big timing, IMO, when it's this close (let alone when he's wrong).

I agree now that I take another glance at it. The C was emphatic with scoring the goal. It would be interesting to know what his partners said to him but if I'm that strong calling a last-second shot - one way or another - I'd like to think my partners would trust me, especially since it's my call.

could be that this falls into the "big timing" category....

i can easily see a different scenario: T comes in to ask if the C was 100% certain if shot was good....C says he wasn't 100% sure, T said he thought it was no good...."if we're not sure, we can always go to another overtime".....
