Thanks a ton for all your help on the NFHS side. I've got something else for the old mental roledex.


Just to make the point the Dan_Ref was alluding to in his earlier post, that there is a dramatic difference between the codes on this play.

From BR-41, Rule 2-12-10 A.R. 24

this is a case book play that is basically the same play as 5.10.1D in the NFHS casebook, in which the official blows his/her whistle and see the exact time remaining on the clock while doing so. The NCAA book says

"...more than one second elapsed from the time the signal was given until the timing device was stopped. The referee shall order FIVE (not 4 as with the NFHS ruling) seconds to be put on the game clock. In all cases listed in this A.R., the referee has definite information that the game clock showed five seconds and shall instruct the official timer to put that time on the game clock."

It's interesting that there is this difference between the codes. Any thoughts as to why officials on the h.s. level wouldn't be allowed to reset to 5 if they know it should be at 5, but college officials are?

thanks,
Jake
