This is one area of the rules every official needs to know and adhere to. Whether you work Fed or NCAA, follow their guidelines to the letter. Contrary to what many think, we have very little liability exposure out on the field, but this is one area where we can get nailed if we aren't careful enough.
Don't let a coach talk you out of getting people off the field. Politely tell him he is welcome to stay, but everyone else is off and the game will be suspended.
