There is a point where subjective judgment comes into play.  But there are some plays where to say it was too close to call just does NOT apply.   I don't know what to do.  I think the NCAA should review 100 hours of videos and make a tape of good charge-block calls and bad charge-block calls so everyone understands the rules.   And then they need to educate referees not to get emotionally involved in a game.  I've seen too many referees jump around all animated making a big call that the home crowd will go nuts over as if the referee is part of the game.  I'm sorry, referees should have absolutely no emotion during a game.  There's a right way to be a referee and wrong way.  I've coached CYO and my town's rec league for four years now.  We have some CYO referees that are just terrific.  I'm mean they are really good.  And then, we go to some towns and the local referees are sooooooo bad.   Being a referee requires a huge amount of skill.  If the NCAA was actually doing its job instead counting all the millions they get from the TV deals then they would actually would be making sure referees are properly paid and trained.  It's a big pet peeve of mine.  I'm sorry, but when you see it done right you just can't accept it when it is done so poorly!
