John,

I can say, with FIRST hand knowledge that this statement about being "informed" of what to call is blatantly incorrect. Yes, there are supervisors and a director of officials and we have guidelines and rules (who doesn't), but I have never been told to call something that is not specifically covered in the rules. All levels are "informed" on how to referee. In college it's so sporadic, bc one supervisor has a pet peeve about this and another about that so you better call it the way they want if you want to maintain yourself in that perspective league.
