LJ, kudos to you and your crew for making the right call. I expect that the people screaming to 'let them play' are the same folks that screamed at you in the first half for missing a pass interference call.
As for getting the number player committing the foul - sure, it's advisable. But like Rut said, it's not always possible. In my Turkey Day game I flagged B for a facemask. It was a run up the middle. Between the linebackers and defensive lineman and pile of humanity involved in the tackle, as well as me tiptoeing to avoid being taken out on the play, I could not tell whom the arm belonged to. Still, that doesn't change the fact that a foul was committed.

Its absolutely true its not always possible to get a number. And Rut is right, a facemask is one where you might not get a number ,especially if youre on a wing. But that's not what Im really looking for or what Im talking about. Having an # isnt whats important. What I want is a quality call. One where youve seen the whole thing from start to finish. One that you can say hey that's a foul, yep that was a foul, buy God now that was a foul ! And then toss your flag. If this is how your calling fouls then 95% of the time your going to have the offenders #. Then you can report it with confidence.
