Auger vs. Burrows
Tom captures the essence of this issue here in the comments:
“Burrows has a propensity to dive? As an impartial adjudicator, I’m going to make sure I see a trip before I call one when Burrows goes down. If he was tripped it is a penalty. If I’m not sure it was a trip it was not. If it was a trip and I think Burrows went down to make sure it was called, he gets a penalty too. Those are the rules the referees are paid to enforce.”
Diving can easily be legitimately dealt without need for manufactured penalty calls or for Auger to compromise himself.
