Last friday night we called a passing concept, the TE has a vertical release. The team we were playing were a 4-3 team, the TE releases freely inside, at 6 yards depth the OLB (in a 60 technique) cuts the TE as he is running his route. There was No call at all.
My question is which official should make that call? My assumption is the Side judge, however the side judge very quickly informed me "That is the back judge's call." Which to me is just retarded to the maximum.... anyone have information to offer up?

no idea, but it's always somebody else's call.
at least, that was always my experience.

I mean, who's really going to be purposely looking for that?

44Special that at least contributes in a positive manner. I'm really trying to understand Official Mechanic processes.
That's really what I'm trying to understand. If anyone has a direction to point then I'll do the rest on my own.

worked with a few coaches who had worked as refs while in college.
they always seemed to know who's call it was. i just went with what they said.
when there was nobody on staff who knew, we just yelled at the guy on our sideline.
or sometimes told him -
hey, i know it's not your call, but could you tell that (insert specific ref, or mild insult, or sometimes not so mild insult) to watch for that?
they never flag you if you tell them it's someone else screwing up.

How many officials are working the game?
7 officials- If TE is widest player, then SJ/FJ. Otherwise the BJ is likely, but is dependent on formation.
6 officials- If TE is widest player, then SJ/FJ. Otherwise short wing.
5 officials- If TE is widest player, then short wing. Very dependent on formation

That night it was a 7 man crew.
I think there was a flanker to the TE side, so he was 2nd widest.
Seems like a challenging call for the back judge to make, however I see the procedure at least.

BJ in 7 man crew usually has the 2nd man in on the strong side. If sides are even, then he has 2nd man in on the LJ side.
Officials are only looking at players outside the tackles to determine strength.
