Obviously not as big of an issue in your area. Here the coach's opinion is king.

Once again, I did not say we say nothing or we completely ignore coaches. I even said earlier that if the crew is doing their job properly we are telling the coach what happened on the play. I do not know many coaches that want to take a significant penalty and keep the ball without replaying the down.
And thank God I do not live in that system. We have coach's ratings now (they took away official's ratings this year) and I never worry about what coaches do ultimately. And I have yet to see a coach get upset when we replay the down because of a double foul. The only time coaches get upset is when they think they will not get penalized and we do.
