Game interrupters are calls that are either too technical or things that do not really need to be called. In other words you call a traveling that is questionable or a carry call that might be questionable at best. Almost universally 3 second calls are considered game interrupters if it is called very technically. I would never say not to make that call, just do so trying to prevent it. If you have to make that call, you after all are an official and have a whistle as a tool. I can tell you that I am lucky if I make this call one time in a season. I have found ways to warn and get my point across and not making this call. As time goes on you will see this is not a high priority.
