Very informative information, thanks for offering.

A game typically (ever) really is decided on a 3 seconds call, so I'm okay with the 'reasoning' that comes down from the world of reffing hierarchy, however, the dilemma I see is that this leaves an official with too much wiggle room when it comes to interpretation, since it appears quite subjective.  Though again, a game is rarely ever decided on this call or non type call.

Where it's though is the charge/block call.  I realize that this is rather difficult to call due to the pace of the game, etc, but it appears that the refs call this way too much, and, very seldom ever get it right. Announcers are constantly commented on refs for such a bad call more times than not, understandably, the refs don't have the luxury of replay.  I think the refs should get a 'referendum' to limit these types of calls, unless it's so obvious or egregious one way or the other, bury the whistle just as with the 3 seconds calls.  These notorious block/charge calls have, imo, substantially & negatively impact the game...it has bred the whole flopping phenomenon that doesn't appear to be slowing down any. These calls clearly decide games (we all vividly recall the Duke-SU game where JB was tossed) to the point where the refs are too often the focal point rather than it being the players.
