My philosophy is to call the obvious. That is my officiating philosophy. That is all sports and all levels. Not sure why that is hard to understand. And I did not say that there are never things that would be close, but I do not want to make a habit of calling the game with a bunch of calls that no one can understand and tape does not verify. And tape does not verify anything when you have to constantly slow down video to see what might have taken place.
