And replay overturns the OOB call in the MSU/UConn game. Correctly. And it only took a couple minutes

So, you'd rather them guess even if they were not even looking at the play?

I have called a "held" ball on my own line before when both were touching it simultaneously. I just don't see why that is such a bad thing if that is what happened.
