Re: Counts can be confusing

Quote:
As the POE I believe was this year, the closely guarded was changed this year and I know some officials who will not count unless the defense can touch the offeense. By rule that is not correct.

Then the next night you have a guy calling it as suggested by rule, so it can be very confusing.

Thanks

Amen. I've been at a number of HS games in the past 2-3 seasons where the girls were so close they could share the same uniform, and there was no count. So much for the rule philosophy rewarding good defense

I definitely think they should add the signal to the NF chart. It would be a lot more practical than the administrative rule changes they came out with last year.
