Now, with every grandmother in the bleachers having a high definition cell phone video camera, the phrase, "game interrupter", while possibly still somewhat relevant, has become somewhat less fashionable than just a few years ago.

I hear this comment quite often. Still used when you are calling a marginal or questionable act that stops the game. And even good quality video is often not good enough of an angle to decide what happened. It is very close and to me, if you do not call it no one is complaining. Especially when you are taking away a possession.

Agree.

"Game interrupter" is still relevant, but not to any degree close to what it used to be. I hear it less and less at meetings as the years have progressed. I actually can't remember the last time I heard the phrase.

Inbounder steps slightly (fraction of an inch) over a boundary, twenty point game, three minutes to go in the game.

Twenty-five years ago? Easy pass. No thought required. Easy peasey lemon squeezy.

Today? Possibly a violation.

Don't need another complaint on a coach's list (grasping at straws) if he chooses to call my assigner.

The much increased use of video over the past many years had definitely required officials to be held more accountable than in past ancient times.

I see the bunny hop occasionally, in boys games its a travel; however, in girls games its usually passed on.
