Change Out Of Bounds Call ...

[JRutledge]

As I said before, the NF Mechanics does not get specific about many things that can happen or based on what actually do in the real world. This is one of many examples. There are things that have multiple real-world things we might do that never is mentioned on any level in the NF Mechanics book. Even in the CCA Manual, there are things you never hear talked about in detail that you would hear at a camp. Mechanics books are guides of mostly where to stand and what to do like on a switch after a foul. I do not know why people are surprised when the NF book never covers things we might even talk about on this site or what is discussed in a meeting.

I believe the appropriate quote for this situation goes something like:

"Sometimes, you gotta just referee."

Yes, just use the catch-all rule: Rule 2 section 3.

The 2013-2015 Officials Manual says that these types of "Help" situations should be discussed thoroughly during the crew's pregame conference.

P45 2.5.4 B. Crew Communication During the Contest.

And that still does not give a definitive answer to what exactly you do or what "help" means, which again is something you will have to do based on your area, level or training.

I guess I don't see a problem. I will make sure my crew is on the same page before the game starts and we will handle the situation as discussed.

I didn't say there was a problem, but there are multiple philosophies about how you "help" on an out of bounds call. So you might have to go with what is acceptable to your partners or maybe the area you officiate. The book only allows for there to be help. The book does not get specific as to what procedure you actually follow.
