Same here. I know for a fact my assignor will look at tape if there is controversy - whether it be initiated by a coach complaining or an official reporting that there was a flagrant foul. I'm fine with it and it backed me up on a flagrant foul I called last season where I was the only one who saw the action - both my partner and the head coach of the kid who was tossed were blocked from the view of it.
