This is more of a gray area. You are working as head linesman. There is a sweep to the other sideline. As you are trailing on the other end of the field, you see a block in the back. Now, the field judge did not have a flag and you see a clear violation. Do you throw the flag? If so, how do you sell the call since you are "out of position" from the play based on that the LJ being there. If not, why should the official let it go?

If your watching his area, then whose watching yours. While you see the block in the back, you may have just missed a major flagrant foul in your area. How do you sell that? "Coach, I didn't see it, I was looking accross the field at a block in the back." Bottom line, when the play is away from you the only fouls you should have are those flagrant fouls and other major personal fouls. Minor rule infractions should be left to those who are in position.
