TX, Remember the original post? It wasn't about encroachment, false start, sideline warning, illegal substitution or other obvious situations. It concerned a complicated multifoul live ball situation where the offended team catain needed to know his complete options. Too wordy? Yes. But not a place to take a shortcut.
The post read as if the situation took place during a high school game, and not on a college field, which underscores my point eve more so.
As to you snide commetn concerning my standing on the sidleines.
If you were to look closely at the crew's mechanics, after a penalty flag has been thrown, you will see that they confer together prior to R going to the offending team captain, often for a lengthy time. Why?
I have several colleagues who work college, from D-3 through 1-AA, and they do this because it is the correct and professional thing to do, especially ln multi-foul situations. First, to make sure what they have is exactly what they have, and this often involves disagreement. Once they aggree on the penalty, they discuss the options and the results, and when they agree that what they have is what they have, R goes to the offended captain with his options which he describes fully. Then the captain makes his decision. The crew doesn't care how long it takes, but only that they get it right.
Why should it be any different on a Friday night? It shouldn't!
