So about those new rules ... are they working?

On the new b/c determination, I find this more difficult to officiate as your field of vision needs to be even wider on the plays as the lead official. If you think about it, it needs to expand by about 6 feet which is a lot when trying to position yourself to see through the bodies. We have been instructed to find the plant foot and determine if the defender has established LGP and not made any illegal movement from that point once the plant foot has been planted. I've worked about 10 men's games this year and it is getting easier, but I am spending even more time on synergy (our NAIA and NCAAD2 leagues use this service) to watch these plays to see if my positioning and judgment were correct. I'd absolutely love any tips that others are using to ensure you are getting these plays correct.
