Points of Emphasis
Actually your remark about college ref's not getting the word not to call 3 secs is totally backwards. If you take a look in the NCAA rule book this year, 3 secs is a point of emphasis this year due to the rule change regarding it. Although I do agree in officiating at the college level that an advantage needs to be gained before calling 3 secs, I will often look to call one or two early in a game if warranted to set the tone and make everyone aware that we are looking for it.
