To all who advocate a T:

Seeing and Hearing is tantamount. You must be 100% of what infraction has happened and Who committed the infraction.

IF you penalize the foul must be assessed to a specific individual. That means I must have both seen AND heard the infraction. Seeing tells me exactly who must be penalized. Hearing only tells me which rule infraction to penalize (10-4-1) as in this case during halftime everyone is bench personnel (4-34-2).

No seeing = guessing. The best officials DO NOT GUESS.

Note: in all citations so far to advocate T while in locker room areas of the school the referee has both seen and heard the infraction (ie. electronic equipment, T in hallway)

Only guessers assess a T without visually seeing who committed the infraction.
