Mine yesterday was EASY!!! Kid gets the ball just over the division line, gets trapped with the ball and pivots three times with the elbows out at nose level of the defenders. The first pivot, I stepped toward the play, the second pivot, my red flag went up, and the third one that almost connected with a nose got the whistle. The coach and I have a pretty good relationship, he wasn't being a jerk about it, and I didn't want to create an adversarial situation since I have to come back for a varsity assignment in a couple of weeks. I was very confident in my assessment of the situation. I'm sure that he just hadn't seen the call made much and was somewhat surprised with the whole issue. That got me to thinking...how many times has this coach seen this call made? I seriously doubt that it wasn't much...and based on you guys' responses, I'm right.
