Good Block or penalty?

[Rich]

This conversation reminds me of association meetings where we watch videos showing possible illegal blocks in the back and some people want to flag everything that isn't in front or clearly in the side. And I'll be the one there saying: "Was the block between the shoulder blades, yes or no? No? Then it's not a foul. Next."

And yet there will still be people saying it should be flagged cause it's close enough. And mentally I remind myself that should I need a sub for my crew to *not* call on those people.

I treat helmet contact very seriously. My crew ejected a player for spearing 5 years ago and we haven't worked that conference since. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. But I'm not going to make my standards for throwing a flag lesser. I have to see it and be sure of it before I flag it.
