two plays this weekend:
1) Youth game. HL calls illegal formation when there are only 6 guys on the line. After repeated attempts to explain why it's an illegal formation, the coach finally with resignation decides one last try to prove us wrong: "OK, if it's an illegal formation, then it's a dead ball foul!" Sorry coach.
2) Working BJ on Friday night. Play out of bounds. Extracurricular activity. Wing flags a late hit. I clean up behind him and escort B7 back to the field who had just got the flag. I said, "B7, play under control, that's a dumb penalty, a late hit out of bounds!". He responded, "Why don't you penalize them?" I said, "I will if they hit your guys out of bounds, but they didn't", He says, "I wasn't doing anything illegal. I was just protecting my guys!"
