Amid catch confusion, referee Walt Coleman says officials have clarity

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Despite all the talk about what is and isn’t a catch in the NFL -- including from Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy, who has been on each side of the debate the past two postseasons -- longtime referee Walt Coleman doesn’t see what all the fuss is about.

For the officials, Coleman said, what constitutes a catch isn’t all that hard to grasp -- even though NFL players, coaches and fans have struggled with it.

“I think for us, nothing really changed,” Coleman said Monday afternoon during a Q&A session with reporters who regularly cover the Packers.
