Speaking of educating coachs, I was LJ on a Varsity game last Friday and I've got 1/10 at the B-26 going in. My sideline is on offense and during the play, the BJ and I have DPI down around the B-5, incomplete pass. So my sideline is happy with the call but then one of the assistant coaches yells to me, "Hey, you only marched off 13 yards! I thought it was a 15 yard penalty." He gave me a vacant look when I said we can only go 1/2 the distance. It was still deer in the headlights so I said that any 15 yard penalty inside the 30 (going in) will always be a 1/2 distance and not the full 15. Still nothing, so I gave up.[/QUOTE]
Why do we think that coaches even know any of the rules..they are clueless, it is our job to know and enforce the rules!
