I had that situation this weekend, I was the LJ on a 4-man crew (so I was moving around alot). The QB was getting tackled and pitched the ball forward, I threw my flag because I lost track of where I was at. The WH asked me if he was behind the line and I looked where my flag was and sure enough, it was right on the line so we allowed it. Going back to the sideline the coaches were all in my ear about how I need to stand for my call and yada yada yada. I told him we got the call right and that's all he should be worried about. (That's one thing I've learned on this board, it's easier to pick up a flag then it is to not throw it and be wrong). Anyway, the coaches stayed off me pretty much the rest of the game. Final score was 56-7 anyway.
I also try to do what bjudge was saying. If they are always on me, then I try to do less for them. I'll call the obvious but anything border line I won't call.
