I agree. I would have held my position at the FT line extended and observed from the C position here.

I'm sorry, but I think that idea places you in a worse position.

The only way for this to be a block is if B1 moves forward. If not on the end line, forward movement is best seen when the line between yourself and separation is parallel to the end line.

Besides, A1 traveled twice on the play. Once when receiving the pass, and once just before contact.

That's how I've been taught to officiate such a play as well. The important part of this is that by stopping, you give yourself a steady view of the play.

How much would stopping at the FT line extended change the angle you get on this play?

you would see the whole play and more importantly see through both players rather than straight lined.

I think many just default to penalizing the defense, like in this play. I default to penalizing the offense and most of the time I am right.
