While I understand the points made - hey, if it ain't happening in your area tonight, it ain't happening. Any thoughts on the above school of thought of not wanting/giving the perception that one official is maybe stronger and calling the entire game?
During my first camp, I asked a question and a college official told me possibly the worst piece of advice that I ever heard. I have since come to learn that he's a relic on the board of college officials. If you're L and there's nobody in your primary, you aren't expected to call anything - "don't look outside your area" was a direct quote. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
