rob, that's just not true. The rules instruct us to call contact situations by the advantage/disadvantage principle. So even tho there is contact every second, that does not require us to stop the game every second.

Game management is also a big part of the game

True, but this is a rules question, and not a game management situation.

Then your call would be absolutely 100%, without question, without subject to interpretation, incorrect. I'm not being nasty, pushy, or anything else. But by rule, you are wrong. And if you make that call while being observed, I guarantee you will catch a boatload of grief for it. Heck, even if you're not being observed, I'd give you grief as your partner after the game.
You say you have a rulebook. Do me a favor and read rule 4-6. Tell me if that sounds like you're supposed to "manage" those situations.
