JV game this morning, in our pregame with the visitors coach I asked him if all his players were legal. I had already noticed 3 clear mouthpieces. He said they were all legal, then we called out the 3 players we had seen. The coach had never heard of that rule. I told him it has been in since 2005 at least and I think 2004 letting coaches know it would be on the books in 2006. He said it was a dumb rule and whoever came up with it was an idiot. I told him all rules were made up by the coaches rule commitee. By the way, the other 40 players had yellow mouthpieces.
It was a good game, visitors kicked a 30 yard field goal as 4th period ended to tie the game. Head coaches were called to go over OT procedure. The visitors coach thought we would do a 5:00 minute overtime. I told him we started on the 20 yard line ( Ohio OT ) he looked suprised. Said if thats how we would do it that was ok with him. I told him it was the only way we would do it.
