No they did not huddle near the sideline, it was a normal huddle between downs. They had 2-4 extra kids in the huddle. The rule 3-7 clearly states that replaced players must leave the field immediately. If they are in a huddle for 15 sec, is that immediately? Then when their replaced players did not get off the field before the snap, they said they had no affect on the play so no foul. The rules clearly say it is illegal substitution.

Holding on Off is different than holding on Def?

Clipping 5yds past the hash on a reverse sweep is in the free blocking zone? When asked about it, the ref said the FBZ was 7 yds wide and 4 deep. It is hard enough to try and teach kids this game, and then have to deal with a total lack of caring on the ref part.

We drew 2 flags for having 9 men on the LOS, and were told we could only have 7, no more no less. BUNK. Maybe they thought it was the NFL, and never awoke from their dream...

When are the coaches allowed on the field? Before, after the game, at halftime, and during timeouts. So why is their no flag when they walk out on to the field during the break between downs? Not just once, but almost every down.

We had a warning for 5 people in the coaches box, 3 coaches and 2 subs. This should have been a flag by rules, but I guess if our coaches were on the field instead of the box, it would have been better huh?

It is really funny to me that all I get is chastised for asking about the rules? I guess what I read somewhere is true, you guys are mostly doing this for the power trip. Sad example you are setting.

Oh FYI, we won the game by 5 on an interception return after the take a knee BS penalty. Yeah, going to take a knee and then after a 30 yd penalty, 15 for hitting the center, and 15 unsportsmanship on our HC, they decided to try and run up the score. The outcome does not alter my view of the poor job that was done. It would be a shame for this to happen to another team. Another ol' boys group not going to try to improve, just happy with how it is.... shameful!
