As an official in any sport, you never want to make a call that decides the game unless it is blatantly obvious in EVERYONE's eyes and NOT just "my judgement".
Hey, Rock.
As an official, you automatically assume the role of potentially making a call that could have an impact on the game. That's what officials do! We enforce the rules! Although we use game sense, we don't duck tough calls by hiding behind a "game sense curtain" and we surely don't back away from calling fouls involving player safety.
Derock, maybe we should revamp officiating and take a poll of the fans to see if a foul should be called because we shouldn't throw a flag unless it is "blatantly obvious in EVERYONE's eyes". And not to use "judgement" would rewrite the rule books as roughing the kicker is a judgement call!
Maybe you can teach me something. When is it OK not to throw a flag (in youth ball) when the foul is a safety issue? I'm sure you're game sense will kick in soon...
p.s. Derock, why do you lead with your chin????
