The clinician called this a "wrong place, wrong time" foul.

What ever happend to advantage / disadvantage? I understand they want the game called tight but I'd have a hard time penalizing legal defense / bailing a player out.
I think that you need to find some officials who are already working in this particular league- and have a candid talk with them. Find out how they are actually calling their games, and then try to follow their lead. Another thing that you might try is to check out the schedule for an early season game that's close to you, and then go watch the officials to see what they are calling. I think that what you want to be is consistent with the veterano officials in the league. JMO.
