Overruling your partner?

[WindyCityBlue]

Uh, oh...just found this,too.

Jumpmaster and Chris S seem to be two more good officials that give examples of this happening. I believe we called it "Getting the Call Right" on the baseball board. It seems that the Big Ten has decided to try an experiment that will assist some already terrific officials in making sure that the right call is made. Since this is just an experiment this season with ramifications for the future, it will surely be scrutinized even more than the original call.

Since only game deciding calls - their words - will be looked at and possibly over ruled by Technical Advisors, it seems like a pretty good start. Will there be problems, undoubtedly, but I bet they bring it back in some form for the rest of D-1 football in the next few years.

By the way, football referees, I do not work in your sport, nor do I pretend to know the intricacies of officiating it. I enjoy watching all levels and may give it a chance someday. More than one of my baseball coaches think I should start now! Until then, I'll leave it to you guys to keep the game fair.
