Then the WH is quick w/ the whistle and the U, LJ and HL are close enough to talk to the players and keep things from getting out of hand.
Just curious, how much do you guys let one coach yell at the other coach before you flag him?

what if you tell the defense the qb is taking a knee and they end up running a play even after the offense tells you they are taking a knee? the defense must not always assume a knee will be taken. the officials are better off to let the play happen and act accordingly. it will keep you out of trouble. i dont care how quick the whistle is, as soon as the ball is snapped that defensive player is coming across to hit someone.
