When a decision is needed I'll explain the options to the captains while facing the captain's bench so the coach can hear our conversation. I'll also have the wing official relay the choices to the coach. I'll then ask the captain to look at his coach.
My talk with the captains is pretty basic, "There was holding on the play. If you accept the penalty is will be 3rd down and 14. If you decline the penalty it will be 4th down and 3."
The coach will hear, "3rd and 14 or 4th and 3?"
