Redding defended the work of his replay official Saturday, Dan Dembinski, stressing that the replay rule calls for indisputable video evidence. "It's not like in a court of law where there is reasonable doubt," Redding said. "There can be no doubt at all for a replay official."
This is a ridiculous standard. No doubt at all? Beyond a reasonable doubt is the highest standard used in courts and is reserved for criminal trials. It is stupid to utilze a standard higher than that.
I think the NFL had similar problems with reluctance to overturn clearly wrong calls when they first went to instant replay. But they fixed it and their system seems to work for the most part. The SEC's system on the other hand gets it wrong much too often.
