Coach Chass: I agree with you, but FIFA and USSF do not. This is not just a lone assessor, it is their policy. You will never see a ref in EPL or MSL indicate what the foul was (remember the USA in the World Cup?). At lower levels I think indications are helpful for just the reasons you indicated. However the actual point of my post is that there is a discrepency between what refs are trained to do and how refs are assessed and the criteria coaches use to evaluate them. The signals were just one example, there are others.
