You made a good call here. I know you work FED games and this is how it's to be called now in high school games that use FED rules. No more "imminent" in the rule.

We haven't had our FED meeting yet...but wow, this is going to make it a very interesting season. I expect my ratings to go down quite a bit if the interpretation of this FED rule is what all of you are saying...wow.

If you do NCAA games, the obstruction rule is essentially the same.

Have to agree Tim, nice catch. There are distinct advantages from off the field sight lines and pressurless review.

I am currently working my 40th NFHS season . . . blah, blah, blah . . . and over 4,000 games . . . blah, blah, blah. . .

AND NOT ONCE have I ever seen an umpire give the NFHS "Delayed Dead Ball" signal. We teach to point, comment, and move on to the remainder of the play.
Then you and your org learned somehting today, make sure you put it in soon before knowleadgeable coaches start eating your ballbags.
