I always hear if the play starts in your zone stay with it.

I have had this happen to me a few times with Veteran officials. It seems to me that have a much better look at the defender and if the defender is set or not.

The call has been made and they have called charge when it was clearly a block. The coaches usually are upset that a guy 15-20 feet away is making a call that is five feet in front of me.

Help?
I do not let the play go without a whistle.

On that particular double-whistle call, my fist goes up and stays up until I move toward and make eye contact with the other partner. We then quickly sort it out. Most times it's the same call.
