I'll be the Lead was glad that Trail came and got that one right.

Here's my thing... If the trail saw the illegal contact, why did he not put a whistle on it at the time of the illegal contact? We are not allowed to use the advantage/disadvantage at the NCAA level this year. This is a play where I can see the T having a whistle anyways, so why didn't he come in earlier with the foul?

He wouldn't have had to sell it so hard had he put a whistle on it earlier...

So has the NCAA completely disregarded the incidental contact rules? A/D is simply a way of wording that. I highly doubt they want every bit of contact called a foul.

While I agree he might not have to have sold it as hard as he did, it is a good cadence whistle since the Lead is primary on the play. He is a split second after he sees Lead calling it OOB. I don't think it was an advantage/disadvantage thing as much as a secondary coverage whistle.
