“Get Away Signal”
B give a get away signal on a punt ball and then his teammate picks it up and returns the ball.
What is the Federation (high School) ruling on this play. Anything in the Fed rule book? |
If its close enough to a FC signal that the covering official believes it to be invalid then it a foul. There is no such thing as a get away signal in NFHS nor is there a case play.
|
It is not illegal to give a signal to tell others to "get away." It is only a NCAA interpretation to kill the play after such a signal is given. You might have states that want this to be interpreted that way, but not from the NF level at this time.
The only thing we can do is consider this an invalid signal and penalize the action. Peace |

Perhaps NFHS considers this a teaching opportunity, to hopefully reduce/eliminate recurrence at higher levels.
