On a side note to this discussion, I have seen on several occasions, quality
linesmen make calls behind the play, or even right in front of the referree's
face!
 
While it does take some getting used to, I have no objection to this,
provided the degree of objectivity for the LINESMEN is left to a minimum, the
infraction must be blatant.
 
I think people who have seen recent BU home games, will concurr with this.
