How to Handle a Vet?

After the game, show him a case play or rule in the book that directly contradicts his ruling and say, "Am I misunderstanding the application here? I noticed that you handled it differently." If he has a hint of decency, he'll own up to his mistake.


One of my players drove to the lane and slammed into the defender (an obvious charge I'll admit!) The lead called nothing, but after a moment, the trail blew his whistle and called the charge. Should the trail have made this call even though technically it wasn't his area?


Depending on where the drive originated, this might have actually been the trail's call to make. That being said, it sounds like a call that the trial needs to come and make even if it was a little out of their primary (got to get the train wrecks).
