Congrats, Jay. I'm glad it was a positive experience. Keep it up.

As to your question on coverage, I'm assuming that you're talking about a play that originates from the T, and the contact occurs in the L's primary area. In these cases, you're going to get just as many people who say it's the L's call, as people who say it's the T's call; and they both have pretty good reasons for their view.

I think the NCAA mechanic (for men) is to allow the T to have first crack at the call, b/c s/he has followed the play from the beginning. But since many college officials (especially at D3) also work a lot of HS games, you'll get a lot of partners who say that it's the L's call all the way, b/c it's right in front of him/her.

The moral of the story -- as always -- is pregame, pregame, pregame!

Good luck with the college schedule.
