In a complicated play/penalty situation like this, it's also a good idea for the official(s) who report the situation to the R to stand close by while he gives the options to the captain. Because of the complexity in the play, the R might not be able to precisely remember all the WHOs, WHATs, WHENs, and WHEREs. Having the reporting officials nearby might prevent a flawed explanation to the captains and a resulting bad choice by the offended team..

Hey, I know over the years from listening to coaches the we R's don't know anything and now you're suggesting we don't have a memory either?
Actually that is a very good point, Bob.
