Great Debate
As this issue goes, I would have a whistle. There are few occassions for no-calls in games on block/charges. One that comes to mind, is where defensive player starts to fall back or where offensive player brushes by defensive player and in both of these situations there is little or no contact at all on the play, these are no-calls. I think all collisions deserve a whistle. Even if you get it wrong. I hope you don't. Crashes in my mind are not tough to call if your in positions and refereeing the defense. Remember the tough 50/50 crashes and talk about them with your crew, because if there is another 50/50 crash at the other end we want to "balance the floor."
I would hate to have to guess on a call due to my lack of hustle, being out of position, not refereeing the defense, or not having a clear lane of vision on the play; but I would for sure have a whistle and come up with something if I put myself in that situation....for sure.
When players go to the floor and we don't have a whistle it casts a doubt on our credibility and judgment, we must have a whistle!!!!
