I want to re-iterate that this is not my philosophy regarding safety issues (FM, chop blocks, RTP, etc). But technical (and as Robert puts it, tactical) stuff? Why bother. Quote:

I was always taught to not call holding just because "actual" holding took place. I call holding when there is an advantage. On passing plays there are a lot of contact sometimes and no advantage. I would only try my best to call when there is a clear advantage. So could the score come into play? I guess it could, but not likely. I know where the ball is thrown would come into play. I know if there was an advantage would come into play. I know if it was so obvious it would show up on tape would come into play. There is no hard fast rule that applies to everything in these cases. I just know that if the foul is there an obvious, I am going to call it. I do not sit back and base calls on the score very often unless it is marginal.

If the DE is being held and still makes the tackle, is it a foul? Generally, no.
Had a play this season where U had holding on A63, R had holding on A73. Assessed one. At halftime HL says, "Wow, two flags for holding and neither saw the face mask by B33?" :eek: HL's explanation for not throwing the flag for the FM was he had drifted downfield with his receivers and felt he was too far away to throw the flag, and assumed one of the flags was for it anyway. --Throw it, can always pick it up. If at a distance, get closer then toss. |

Amen! Had a second round playoff game last night that ended 70 - 14. If I bring nothing else to a game, at least I know I'm not taking a one single play off. |
That sort of thing happened in our game today, the last of the season. Our opponent brought 12 players. After our team scored a TD, one of their players threw his helmet down. That resulted in an immediate DQ. We asked the ref to let him play, but he wouldn't; the league admin. said he wouldn't let him play even if the R did. It was early in the game, which meant the player would not get another chance this fall. And it wasn't like we wanted him to stay in the game as a weak point we could exploit -- which it might've been under other circumstances. So they played with no subs.
We got away with an illegal motion on the try, and eventually won 7-6. |

We were admonished this year in our college meetings to call the call regardless of the score if it is obvious. The reason is there are too many camera angles to ignore the obvious calls.
