TWEET! My partner, a crew-cut military type, didn't hesitate.

Kudos to your partner on calling the obvious one with a 5 foot gap.
Yes, I should have known it was in the rule book, but considering how many times I have seen it called (ZERO) it is easy to forget. When flopping jerseys barely brush and a kid tries to earn an academy award with their flop, it needs to be whistled. Or when a college player does a head jerk like he just got rear ended in his smart car by a semi doing 50 mph, it should be whistled.
