OK this I know has been beaten to death but one last time please. Here in Iowa we have our 1st Round State Playoff games tonight so want to make sure I have a clear mind.
Time and time again I hear the infamous they are breaking the huddle with 12 players. From my reading and understanding as substitute enters the huddle the replaced player must leave the huddle in a timely manner. As the White Hat it is my judgement to determine that timely manner. At times coaches get the play in late as we all know and they hurry the play call and the sub is leaving as the huddle is breaking.
My interpretation as long as he leaves in the "timely/immediate" mannner he is alright.
Some states go with the NCAA rules and I think (not sure) that if they break with 12 it is an instant flag.
Fed rule as I read states they are given the opportunity to complete the substitution.
OK sorry for bringing up again but fire away at me.
