Looks like the U would be the official with a good view of this cheap shot by the defense. The play appears to be over and ended OOB. The defensive player was quite relaxed when the hit in the back occurred.
I would not pass on this one and would call it a personal foul rather than a BIB.
I think the use of video does provide for learning. I wish we had more up my way. The problem has always been marginal quality tapes or on the "key" play, the angle was just not there.

I wish we had five. I agree the U should have seen that and when we reviewed the tape he also agreed. It was his first varsity game and first at that position.
We had tried using videos from the teams but found two problems: 1) they turn the video off during dead ball periods, and, 2) the tape we got was always a copy and the quality was indeed marginal.
Thank goodness, my lovely and devoted wife loves using the camcorder and does two to three games a year. She is still getting used to shooting football as you can see on the roughing the kicker play but it gives us enough to review our performance after the game. I make copies for the other officials and there were quality problems. Next season we will transfer video using S-video to a DVD recorder, or, possibly direct to the computer. Then make digital copies.
