What does it mean when I hear a "call was tight but correct"? Whatever happened to the phases "fouls must show up on film", "let's not show them how smart we are", "fouls need to jump out at you", and most importantly "have a material effect on the play". If that player was 6" further back would he have less of an opportunity to be part of the play? It's micro-enforcement of a rule. I hate savaging a fellow official, especially one that has a better schedule then I do, but that call went against everything I was ever taught about officiating. I'm a deep wing and face that situation on every kick off-If it's that close I would never, ever make that call. Sorry to be a Monday Morning QB but I can't support that foul.
