Well, for instance, one of the violations could be disconcertion- either on a player or their bench. That's a judgement call all the way, not a black'n'white call.

You also have to sometimes decide the exact timing of the violations, especially if they occur really close together. The rules do allow for simultaneous violations, but a split-second either way on which one occurred first could bring 2 more different rules into play- depending on the sequence.

They just ain't that easy sometimes, Rev.
