be a talker (I'll let you know how it goes!)

How old are these kids?
Dan,
I agree with your talk/call non-consensus.

I look at the tone of the contact early in the game.
When the contact is *way off ball* (the ball is high or on the other side of the post players) and the defender is grabbing/touching/pushing the post player without the ball I am inclined to talk.

Usually, the talking does no good, yet I make an attempt to let 'em know they have my attention. I like to let them know that I won't tolerate certain stuff. Since all of us officials judge things differently, I like to mention the parameters then, as opposed to the captain's meeting where I go over no rules.

From that point, I call.
