I agree with Rut that the 3&1 is not that easy to understand for rookies, but I disagree that you should make up a rule-of-thumb that is so often incorrect and use it as a teaching aid. There are some thing that you simply have to learn properly, without any "quick fixes", and unfortunately, football rules (especially enforcement) are one of these things.
And James, at the higher levels, most things that happen away from the POA, ARE unimportant. Not everything of course, such as safety fouls, which should be called.
The problem is when you try to make absolute statements about these things. Most of the time, it simply can't be done.
