Yelling (can't think of a better title)

[Tim C]

"Therefore this would be an area not specifically coverd in ther rule book that the referee is allowed to rule on..."

Not correct at all.

As we know laws are also impacted by tradition (as laws of the land are).

There is no reccomendation nor comment about yelling in the "FED" or NCAA book. This DOES NOT mean that it is to be handled by an official using:

"The referee shall be empowered to make decisions on any points not specifically covered in the rules."

As many have said it is not against the rules to yell.

To call it is OOO, in my opinion.

And let's NOT get into trying to call it a safety issue, OK!
