Thats why I posted video for you to watch it. Your point is not convincing.
The often considerable benefit of film review of actual game activity, from an officiating training perspective, is that it provides ; opportunity to assess and review essential factors associated with officiating, ie:
positioning, rule knowledge, perspective, game management, etc. The play being reviewed is
LONG OVER and the actual ruling made is (usually) not subject to revision (at least at the NFHS level) and has
NO ACTUAL CONSTRUCTIVE RELEVANCE to the review. The objective should be in reviewing, the above ancillary factors, to assess and learn if they were correctly applied and/or were appropriate for the
SPECIFIC circumstance being reviewed. Visually identifying inadequacies, can be an excellent opportunity to encourage correction, or avoidance of bad behavior and/or clarification and identification of proper behavior.
It's worthwhile to remember that on-field, live action, instantaneous officiating decisions are made from completely different angles, distances, through unique visual obstacles, in an environment often filled with constant movement and distraction completely different in many ways from camera angles, which are
TOTALLY different depending on game location, Crew size and level (NFHS, NCAA & NFL).
Fortunately, focusing on general officiating procedures, positioning, behavior rather than specific outcome transcend the differences in game level, crew size and rule differences by the simple application of those factors by the individual observer's application, rather than the outcome of the play being observed (and long ago decided).
The conclusion, of the actual play unfolding, is relevant
ONLY to
THAT play, in
THAT game at
THAT level whereas the observation of the ancillary actions of the covering officials (positioning, movement, behavior, response, follow-up, etc.) can be of enormous value from a constructive assessment of what may have been done properly, or not, by the covering officials. Arguing about how, or why,
THAT specific call (may have been) made, is an absolute waste of time and has little, if any, bearing on what may be constructively learned from reviewing the film.
