Then if a team wanted to contest that ruling, standard operator only interactions with referees (not team coaches) would then be followed.
Just a thought to remedy at least one of Madison's issues she brings up.

I really like this idea, go straight to the source for the information. It would actually be easier than people think. Right next to the scorer is a microphone, theoretically they could tell the scorer and the crowd the penalties at the same time, and then the score is revealed.
I've seen Sonny (the head ref in Philly) do this the past couple of years, and IMO it works out really well.
