Aboselli, game sense or feel for the game. Does these terms mean "anything" in officiating football?
Do you mean 'Do these terms mean anything in officiating football'?
I get the feeling that because it was in OT, you think it shouldn't be called. Do we then suspend the calling of fouls near the end of games and in OT? Is this what you mean by 'feel for the game'? So the offended team should just bite the bullet because we should be so afraid of calling anything that players can just do whatever they want?
Having an effect on the kick is immaterial - that's not the intent of the rule. The intent is to get players to lay off the kicker. They put the running into part so they could penalize less severe infractions without having to impose 15 yards and a first down. That's what happened here.
Maybe in your 45 minute youth games, you do things a bit different. Enforce the rules you can manage to remember, misapply those you can't etc etc.
It comes down to having some stones in that situation and Blum has got an elephant sized brass pair as far as I'm concerned.
