miscall
Err in judgment
To miscall is to call by the wrong name or to identify incorrectly: The announcer miscalled the player's name.
In sports, it means to make an incorrect call or ruling: The referee miscalled that play—it was clearly out of bounds.
Less commonly, miscall can mean to speak ill of or malign someone.
