I'm not trying to say that the refs are perfect, I'm just trying to say that the job is hard and instead of telling these volunteers that they have to be better, work with this amazing community to find a solution that can be implemented to make calls more consistent without adding unnecessary complexities

But its not adding anything, those students would come up just the same as they do now; the only difference is instead of just telling the student "sorry it is what it is" they can go over to a computer/tv screen and actually take 30 seconds to see if their claim is valid or can be definitively shown the call was made correctly. I would wager a great sum of money every head ref would have no problem doing this.
