Where does it say that the team has to be
on the field?
Here's the case book ruling again:
"The rules book contains no definition of what constitutes a warm up. It simply requires that an opportunity to warm-up be made available."
When the clock hits 0:00 then start your 3:00, to wit "opportunity". When the 3:00 is over its game time. If Coach X doesn't want his boys to warm-up that's his call.
As long as the team is out on the field ready to receive the kick-off for the second half what's the problem? If not you've got DOG and if coach refuses then you've got a forfeit. I've never seen anything that prescribes a USC foul on the head coach for not being out there. If we can't tell him to warm-up, how can we tell him he has to be out there? The opportunity is given, its up to him to use it.
