These forums are not like tests where we give an answer and have no way of knowing if the answer is right or not. We can give an answer without looking at the answers but then we can look at the other answers to see if we got it right or wrong.

I'm sure Tom Heisey and yourself are very good at what you do and I'm not here to challenge anyone's knowlege as a game official. I'm simply providing my comments/views on the posts in this forum just like all the other officials. I'll be the first to admit I'm not always right and I certainly don't know every rule in the rule book nor can I quote a rule without having looking it up first but I am a seven year veteran official who has officiated over 490 football games under NFHS rules. Furthermore, just because you know all the rules and can quote them from rule book doesn't make you a good official. So if you know the rule from the NFHS rule book that says I'm incorrect, please let me know where it is--just want to read the rule for myself.
