I was wondering when that question would come up. Not very long at all and we moved on with life. I explained that I didn't see contact and wasn't going to call something I didn't see. Naturally that was not satisfactory but I wasn't going to get into a long discussion about it either way.

Thanks for all of your input. While I realize there are no absolutes your feedback has helped me better understand what to consider when the potential exists for calling out of primary.

I've added, "i'll try to get a better angle next time.". You only get one of these per game, though. You could also note which players blocked your view, if applicable.

If the evidence is that there was contact, even if you didn't see it, do you call it?

If you do not see how the contact took place you would do the game a disservice if you just call something. I am not sure what the line above means as all contact is not a foul.

Also if you work long enough you are going to miss more, so do not worry about it.

Peace

Worry more about the plays that happened in your primary that you didn't have a whistle on. Those are the ones your supervisor will question YOU on.
