I'm done with this. If I have offended you, I apologize. That was not my original intention. I should not have said those things in my last two posts. I was wrong. This conversation has taken a turn that I did not want. I am partly to blame and will accept my responibility for it. I'm sure you were a fine official and from what you have said you had a great career that very few officials have the chance to experience.

If you would like discuss this further please feel free to send me a private message.

Now I know that you are a good official. This post is the definition of "selling it".
You do not owe me an apology. I was the antagonist. It is hard to interpret tone on a forum like this.
Have a good day.

Do you agree that if the ball passes the plane of the goal line on a kickoff, that it cannot be returned? I've never understood the purpose of the rule.

Yeah, I agree. It is a rule in high school.

If you are asking should it be that way? I don't care one way or the other. If would probably making officiating easier if they could return it. We wouldn't have to be on our toes thinking at that point. We could just let the play continue and go from there.

Blocked PAT

I watched a college game yesterday and saw something I have never seen: a point after touchdown was blocked, scooped up by the defending team and returned to the endzone. The defending team was given two points.

Can this be done in Tennessee high school football as well?

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.

Thank you footballref for your reply. I didn't think it was even allowed in the college ranks.

Also, if you are still an active referee, THANK YOU for doing a thankless job.

I won't comment on the rules for college and/or the NFL since they play by different rules.

Thank you for your kind words. It is usually a pretty fun being on the field.
