Illegal Use of the Hands

[Jim D]

I agree. A referee who won't enforce a penalty because his ego makes him think he is a better judge of fouls than his crew members has got a serious problem -a problem that makes him unfit to work at any level. It's your job to call them and it's his job to enforce them.

You still should throw the flag on the play even if you get stuck working with him again. It's better that he has to explain to the coach or supervisor why he is refusing to adminiser the penalty than you have to explain how you missed the call.
