I have a couple of statements about what you have posted here. First of all, you are not going to control what judgment officials have. Secondly the only philosophy that goes into a real "advantage/disadvantage" application is the way call contact fouls. Outside of contact, I do not see officials using that philosophy that wide spread across other aspects of the game. I would agree that we do not try to be so technical that we are calling every minor violation that no one can see or understand what was called. I do not think the philosophy has much to do with that. Many rules are very subjective in their application and it comes down to what judgment you have. Unfortunately not all officials have the same ability to know when a rule is violated or is consistent with how they apply rules. The NF is not going to be able to completely eliminate that problem if you ask me.

Peace
