Derock,
Do you own a NFHS rule book or even seen one for that matter? All your thinking dont mean squat if you have no knowledge of the contents of the book. Most officials have a foundation upon which they base there opinion and exercise their judgment. Theyve acquired that foundation AFTER reading the rule book for the code used in their respective states.
If what you say is true, that youve officiated for 7 years, its totally unconscionable to me that youve never bothered to read the rule book. If youve been getting paid to work as a football official, youre doing a great disservice to the league thats paying you, and to the kids playing those games.
Now Im sure youre sitting there thinking what an A$$ I am with all my negative comments toward you. Well lets see if we can get something positive happening here. Send me your e-mail address and Ill get some good study material to you. Im willing to send you my 2001 NFHS rule book (whats left of it LOL) along with the rule changes for 2002. Hell Id even be willing to pay for a brand new set of 2002 NFHS (rules, case, simplified and illustrated, officials manual) books if youd just read them .
Until such time lets see if we can get you started in the right direction.
1. Describe and explain the All But One
2. Define a loose ball play
3. On a free-kick , when do we start the clock ?
