You are right of course when we see an out, you have to call it.
I was refering to that really close one that can give you pause as to what you have. One of those that you just have to say, "D**m, that was close, what do I have."
I don't advocate applying my previous idea on anything but that rare play that does occur from time to time.
Neither do I care about making coaches happy. That just makes you a homer thus unreliable.

Personally, I like to have an appropriate smart A$$ retort for coachs. Even if I don't say it, it is nice to be able to say it in your head
