Robert-
That is why there is a crew of us to get together and to figure these things out. A perfect example from last season:
I am working at umpire during a free kick. As I am trailing the play up the field, there is a PF foul by R well behind the play and the ball carrier ends up scoring a touch down. At the position I was in, I had the entire play perfectly bracketed. I could clearly see that the ball carrier was not in the end zone when the foul occurred. Neither of the two officials on the other side of the field had a good view of the ball carrier in relation to the end zone. I came in, offered the information that I had and we got the call correct.
If nobody in the crew has solid information, then you need to rely on crew, association or conference philosophy and to govern your call. I'm sorry if you don't like that but I really don't know what to tell you.
