If a new official can just understand the prescribed situations that fall under the CE provision and how to remedy them, they will be in great shape - confusing the terminology in this case just makes it harder, that is why I am picking at this...

As far as relatively inexperienced refs in a JV game, I would propose that they know this case play! Otherwise, more often than not they will probably blow the whistle and go to the AP arrow which turns out to be correct in this case....whether or not they know why they did it might be another question

This is such an isolated situation. Calling this a CE isn't going to have any affect on any other situation. BTW, I added a correction to my previous post.

I'm not just throwing the term out there haphazardly, and I didnt' use it carelessly.
