Pete, I won't be as thumbs down as some. Like anything, throw it in somewhere as test case to try. Very possibly could have some merit except for certain in grown flaws. First, would have to initiate at Pro level for all to see and gain interest. Second, not that many infractions occur at Pro level. And third, most of the infractions that occur at Pro level don't get called. There's nothing to explain !!

Understand, official is not a play by play commentator. During any dead ball, awards made or players penalized, he states rule and why. Simple, short info. Don't expect play by play as some earlier replys seem to have envisioned.

I guarantee, though, that you are right that officials are going to be more certain of their rules knowledge knowing their RISK exists of having to explain publicly.

Probably would die out because of boredom at the Pro level.
