Or are we all just spending too much time in >the sun (especially those of you in Alaska near the Arctic Circle)? Who calls what where seems fairly well defined. I don't have the NCAA News article with me, but I believe the trailing assistant referee can call anything and everything that the referee does not see...even in the offensive zone. It's basically the CCHA system with maybe a little more latitude for "linesmen" to call penalties. I've heard (has it been posted/confirmed?) that all four Division I conferences will use this system in 1996-97.
