I can't remember ever hearing about an IF being "called off". I can't recall ever reading about it in any sanctioning body. I do remember a number of times it was called and shouldn't have been, the call stuck and was lived with. I do remember reminding some younger umpires that "that's why you don't call IF too soon." and saying essentially the same thing (maybe a little more forcefully and in a language I was sure they'd understand) to some umps who thought they knew it all.
If you call IF & the ball is then blown over the fence, you're gonna have to eat a whole lot of stuff from the offensive coach. Gonna test your management skills to keep that coach in that game, cuz a wrong call forced him to react.
