Do you flag it, or not
I am having a disagreement with a fellow official who works lower level games with us. IMO, if you see one out of four chin straps not fastened and you cannot tell the player before the snap, you do not flag it. You let the play go and tell him after the play. I woud flag a mouthpiece, but not one out of four chin straps. Mouthpiece is big safety issue and I think the helmet is still pretty secure with one strap not fastened. What is your opinion?
