Thanks for the welcome by the way. I think you should call what you think you see not what you think happened even though you did not see it. I was in a game last night where I called a kid for elbowing. He told his coach the other guy was holding his jersey and the coach told the kid to play through it because the ref always catches the second violation. I'm sure if the kid would have stepped away from the opponenet instead of elbowing I may have seen the hold but I couldn't call it because I didn't see it even if I thought he may have held before the elbow.
