If an official calls a foul, then contact on the other end that is equal to or greater than what was just called should be called. If an official passes on a foul, contact that is less or equal to what was just passed on should be passed on.



This evaluater was talking about being consistent as a crew.

Advantage/disadvantage means there can be considerable contact without a foul called. Can also mean that a small amount of contact is a foul because of the effect on the play.

I think that games take on a certain feel or character and the thing is you don't want to make a call or pass on a call out of line with how the game is being called.

This is the art of officiating and it's easier said than done.
