You'd think that of 5 officials one would know the rule, but I get what happens -- of the other 4 officials, 2 aren't sure and the other 2 are intimidated by the R so nothing gets corrected.
This is something that I plan on covering when our crew has its year end meeting. We worked as deep into the playoffs -- and the lesson to take away is that you don't want to end up on Twitter and Facebook cause nobody's ready to step up and save the crew. It happens Week 1, nobody knows. It happens in a state quarterfinal or semifinal, and it's a nationwide story.
