This I agree with as a general rule.

I don't like this. It's treading too much into coaching philosphy for my liking.

Say it's 4th and 20 - an obvious kicking situation right? 4th and 10? 9? 8? 7? 6? 5? Where do I stop? I bet it depends on the team, made up of a hundred different elements. For each official to decide what obvious is does a disservice to the team's abilities and strengths.
