I missed the fact that this was in a scrimmage.
During a scrimmage, I may or may not throw the flag, but
I will tell the player and his coach if they held. The coach
and player have always appreciated the information. I do this
for ALL holds in a scrimmage that I see. Line coaches seem
to appreciate this the most, especially if I show the coach
what the player was doing.
Most of the scrimmages I have worked here are scripted...
offense runs 15 plays, switch... other team runs 15 plays.
The coaches want the info, but not the walk offs. They
just want to get the kids some work.
This all depends on what the coaching staff wants in the
scrimmage. Almost universal is to blow the play dead if
the QB is about ready to get clobbered behind the line.
That one can result in a bad habit, so I tell the coach to
be ready to blow it dead himself if he wants the QB protected
more.
