This is why we get paid the big bucks. This is also why some officials advance and others will not advance. Each of us will be judged on our judgment when plays like this happen. I am confident from what I have been taught that this play was a clean block. I have never been told by anyone to call a foul with slight contact when I have attended college camps or very good HS games with D1 officials observing.
