derock,
continue to officiate but do thr ight thing and get better. listen to what you are saying sometimes
my games get started on schedule? so what most do
i always have the clock? mechanics dictate who has the clock not you.
you sound like when youre the linejudge its your game and nobody can stop you. if you think game sense dictates games then youre wrong. thats like letting a parent officiate a game. as long as you wear the stripes go by the rules. game sense??? no way, game sense is for people watching on tv and in the stands. preventive officiatating? yes yes yes.
keep officiating derock but try and get a better feel for what the game is about. I know youth ball can get crazy at times. and if a game is 55-0 like you say and you find a penalty each time, what good is that doing. most leagues have fines for running up the scores. if the starters are still in yes find a hold because you always can, but if its the subs don't take a td away from a kid because you didn't want to see the score 62-0. its not your problem what the score of a game is , let the leagues handle it. most leagues also have a running clock after a team is up by a certain amount of points. you do know that if the team down scores, the receiving team(team winning at this point) can elect to kick off if they choice. thats what most good coaches would do anyway in a youth game. give the ball right back to the team down. don't take a td away from a sub because you didn't want a blow out derock. would you like that to happen to your child if he was running for a td?
thanks
