The committee also is considering recommending to officials that they make sure there was holding on a play before throwing a flag.

"We want to make sure they actually see the foul," McKay said.
Aw, why would you want to go and do that?

You mean you want me to actually see the foul I call? What do you think I've been doing?

One such play occurred in the Super Bowl. Seattle right tackle Sean Locklear was called for holding on a pass completion early in the fourth quarter that would have put the Seahawks at the Pittsburgh 1-yard line, poised to go in for the tying touchdown. After the penalty, Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck threw an interception and the Steelers eventually scored to take a 14-point lead.
I don't know how that illustrates your point, unless you're talking about someone seeing holding when they throw the flag. I saw holding. It was obvious. He hooked the defensive player around the right armpit and shoulder and almost took him down.
