No. If the team kicks the extra point once it is apparent the kick is no good the play is dead. If they go for 2 and throw an interception or fumble once the defense gains possession it is dead.
Once the fair catch signal is given it is going to blown dead when a team gains possession of the ball.Saw something in a high school game the other night that I've never seen. A punt returner called for a fair catch but let the ball bounce and then fielded it. They blew it dead immediately. Apparently the ball bouncing didn't negate the fair catch signal which kind of makes sense since the defenders have to all pull up and honor the signal.
Not sure what you are after here. If you are asking if there can be any contact, there can be some and it depends. If they tangle feet I am not going to have a call. I am not going to let the defender face guard and never look for the ball. I am not going to let the defender take a shot on the receiver before the ball gets there. If you want to ask something and be a little more specific I will try and give you a better answer.As a referee what are you looking for to determine if there is pass interference?
Can't really offer anything specific without seeing a play.No, I don't have a specific question about pass interference -- just the general one I asked earlier. Sometimes I see interference just as plain as the nose on your face. At other times I don't see it. So I was wondering what the referees are looking for. So, thanks for your response but if you have more to offer I will certainly appreciate it.
He will need to have padding basically covering the outside of the cast. Your son will probably have to show it to an official before each game he plays.My son will be coming to TN to play in the Battle of Rocky Top tournament and has a cast on his broken hand. I've been told the TN high school rules will apply and cannot find the rules regarding playing with a cast anywhere? Can anyone help me with some info.
Can you clarify the blocking below the waist rule. I thought the rule was you can block below the waist (except from behind) 2 yards on either side of the line of scrimmage. However, it seems I've seen on Saturday afternoons blocking below the waist down field. is HS and College different or was that just a missed flag?
No, if he sticks his hand in his face to keep him from seeing the ball to catch it I am going to call pass interference.Never understood the face guarding for pass interference. If the defender doesn't make contact with the receiver and throws his arms up and deflects the pass but never turns around are you going to call PI?
On a 2pt conversion, can you have an illegal lineman down field if he doesn't cross the goal line when the pass is thrown?
I am fine with them. I am sure we will do a lot of explaining to coaches in the beginning of the season, especially at the sub-varsity levels.What do you think about the modifications to the existing pass interference rules for the upcoming season? In particular the elimination of the LOD for OPI and elimination of AFD for DPI.
Not football rules, but TSSAA guidelines. Spring Practice- Each team is given 10 days in pads, is there a limitation as to scrimmages? Or is that on the coaches? I just know some schools play one, others don't. I've always wondered if there was a limit of scrimmages in the spring and also in the fall.
