After 12 years of officiating little league ball, I was assigned to umpire a high school game.
But what puzzled me was that the white hat informed me not to call holding on the right side if the play went around the left side. That by doing so it would make us look stupid.
So what do you think? When is holding - holding?

Delta, with todays liberal blocking rules holding can be called on all most every play. What you want to do is see the foul and then determine if the foul had any effect on the play. A left offensive tackle tugging the jersey of the defensive tackle while they are engaged, on a sweep around the right end is a talk to. You do not have to throw the flag immediately. Replay the play in your head, and then react. Remember the further away from the point of attack, the more severe the foul has to be to be called.
Good luck and have fun.
