yes my philosophy goes against the nf/nc2a mens rules. but this is what i have been taught at nc2a mens camps by nc2a mens officials. the logic is good, though the rule book does not support me. this philosophy has been discussed on this board many times by very high ranking officials. (eli roe, drake marques, bbarnaky, etc.) this is a higher level mentality that is accepted by college officials. i do not expect any new official to accept this philosophy because i thought it was bullsh1t when i first heard it as well. hope this defends my position better.
No,crew,that doesn't defend your position at all.If those other officials call this play the same as you,so be it.I certainly wouldn't agree with them,either.The rulebook(s) state that this specific play is a charge.The only judgement involved would be that you could no-call it,if in your opininion that was the right call.I can even see you and your "high-ranking" friends argueing that it could be a block,or a no-call.That wouldn't bother me,either.That's judgement,too.What bothers me is the philosophy that says that you and your buds would call an exact same play a charge in one spot on the floor,but a block if it happened in another spot.That is neither logical or consistent to me.I might be missing some of that "higher level mentality",though.
