I am new to this forum and so far I appreciate everyone's feedback. Being emotional and forthright about officiating is part of why I like doing it.

I just wanted to solicit some opinions on a mechanic that I do. It gets mixed reviews from some coaches and positive responses from my partner(s).

I have the ability to delay my whistle until I see that the goal is good or not. Whether it is a hit on the forearm or a player control or whatever the play.

The response I get from coaches sometimes is, "Kinda late wasn't it?" Of course my standard answers are, "I saw the whole play and I had to go get it." or "Better late than never." or "I believe my partner got blocked out and needed help coach"
I always ask my partner(s) if they are OK with my delayed whistles because I seem to have 5 or 6 in a HS school game and 2 or 3 in my college game.

I haven't received anything negative from a partner and only an occasional, " . . .could you call it when it happens next time please . . ." from a coach.

What do you all think about a delayed whistle?

Thanks in advance.
