Can't help you with film, but I will say one thing about "late flags". No such thing!!!

This is one of the things I struggle with when training guys in my area - getting across the concept to them of taking their time, replaying the action in their mind and reviewing what they saw before throwing the flag.

Of course TV commentators dont help by constantly talking about late flags and making the public think that a player's complaint generated the "late" flag. Those idiots on TV, they don't know %?&$. It sounds like that mentality is maybe stopping you throwing a flag. It's good to hear that you are taking your time to think about what you saw. That is the mentality that College and the Pro's drum into their officials - take your time!

Another thing I will point out is that it feels like you have taken about ten seconds to review the action in your head, but it isn't as long as you think - it's probably only a second or two at most.
