first, regarding the dropped shoulder- some of our guys say its an automatic charge...some don't. i don't know what to do. i've only called it twice (dropped shoulder charge), neither time was the call in doubt. can any of you veterans expound on when this wouldn't be a charge?

Its not a p/c foul when contact is not made or when it doesnt put the defender at a disadvantage.

thank you.

There sure are a lot of automatics, nevers & always...
Say the assistant coach calls you an a-hole, you hit the bench & indirect to the HC. He says it again, you could've ran him this time but you chose not to assess it to the AC.
If I have definite knowledge of the offender on the bench, I give it directly to them & indirectly to the coach.
