It's cause of what you're stating is one of the reasons why I am posting & asking some of the questions. I'm trying to get a better comprehension/understanding of what it takes to be an official, so that I can be a better part of the table crew & spectator (for times, I'm not doing anything).

Yes, the best position to call a foul/violation is from the floor right in front of the play.

It's also cause of your statement, that I'm training myself not to make statements at the table, or as a spectator.

Like most absolute statements, this is not always true.
