Then there has been a couple times that I've seen what upon reflection I would call a penalty but since the thought process took me a few seconds too long then I would feel unnatural for basically throwing the flag "too late". This indecision is causing what I would characterize as inconsistency in my calls.

I know when I played ball that film study with definate instruction behind it would drill concepts into my head and allow me to react more quickly to what I saw. I was hoping that there would be a production out there that basically showed numerous plays with approved interpretations or judgements that I could watch over and over to help speed my decision making process on the field.
Go to YouTube and search for users RefMike and Sumstine. They both have many clips that are worth looking at.

Both contribute greatly to educating ourselves as a group.
