I agree with you 100%, Mike, but one thing I've noticed from new officials imported from Fedlandia is that they tend to unnecessarily slow the game by giving the captains (heck... they even will do this to 7th graders!) options when it's absurd to even ask. With one guy I worked with a lot, the habit was impossible to break.
False Start on the offense --- walk it, don't ask... but this guy asked all year. Facemask penalties at the end of the run - they ask. I don't get it, and I don't understand why they are trained that way... but they are.
