We just completed our first scrimmage over the weekend. I am at a new position "Umpire," and was told that most of the time coaches do not yell at you. I guess there too far away! Being new to the position, my referee properly instructed me to move up to the line of scrimmage after reading a pass play. He also told me to drop a BEANBAG at the spot of a forward pass when I was not sure if the quarterback had passed the LOS. I'm sure this is the norm, however, I just wanted to mention it since schmitty1973 was dropping a flag. It's easier to pick up a beanbag than a flag. I questioned the WH about the lateness of then having to throw a flag (when we determined that the pass was beyond the LOS) and he explained that the beanbag would bail us out!
