Pac-10 Instant Replay Bites
I am getting tired of these official conferences on the field in the interest of "getting the call right". Prior to instant replay I saw very few of these types of meetings if any. Certainly they were of shorter duration when they did occur. Does this imply that formerly the officials didn't care as much about getting calls right? Weren't all game videos reviewed by the conference anyway? Is it worse to be publicly humiliated or disciplined by your employer?
Was the real intent of replay to turn call making into a science project including data gathering, processing and getting inputs form several subject experts prior to forming a hypothesis that will then be validated or rejected by a slow mo video replay anyway. It would all be much more convincing if you just made the freakin' call and let replay step in as necessary.
