Subjectivity is not part of reffing. Judgment is.
So you assign which varsity league? You are the interpreter for which college division?
This has nothing to do with "having to be right." It has to do with refs working to be consistent across the country on how they call things. You say that it's subjective. It's not. It's trying to get together with other refs and find some middle ground about how to call contact. Most refs are in this middled ground that Dan and Jurassic are describing. You aren't there. That's fine. But don't expect to move the parade onto the sidewalk because that's where you'd rather march. If you want to ref the way others do, listen to what they say and try to follow that. If you just want it your way, then go ahead. But don't expect everyone to fall into line behind you!
