For better or worse (usually better), the goal judge provides NO
decisions. Whether a goal is scored is determined entirely by the
referee(s). The goal judge SIGNALS what s/he thinks is a goal. If
asked, the goal judge can help a referee by telling him what s/he
saw. (I haven't done college games, but as a goal judge in youth and
high school games, I have *occasionally* been asked such questions as
"was it kicked in?" or "did you see it as a goal?" ... but not
often. Many years ago in a HS tournament game I signaled a goal when
both referees were at the other end of the rink and could not see the
play. I explained the play to the senior referee and a goal was
awarded. That was very much as exception).

P.S. Even before the play I described above, I had great respect for
that referee. I often helped in those days on the clock or
scorebook or as a goal judge and before *every* game that he
refereed, he would arrive early and make it a point to talk with
all of the minor officials. Come game time he had a working
relationship with each. All referees should be so complete in
their game preparation!
