It’s absolutely true it’s not always possible to get a number. And Rut is right, a facemask is one where you might not get a number ,especially if you’re on a wing. But that's not what I’m really looking for or what I’m talking about. Having an # isn’t what’s important. What I want is a quality call. One where you’ve 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 offender’s #. Then you can report it with confidence.
Well unfortunately, facemasks are not that way 95% of the time in my view. Many are just people grabbing for deal life and someone grabs the mask. Unless you have a big run or a one on one tackle, getting a number can be hard for any official, not just the wings.

Peace
