Legal Tackle or no NFHS

[HLin NC]

You posted the exact same video on another forum wanting to know if it was a facemask or not. Now you come here and ask if it's legal.

Are these your plays or calls or someone elses? If someone else's, it isn't really fair to them to be airing these on different forums looking for affirmation.

You're starting to remind me of a kid who runs and asks his mom to do something after dad said no.

Well, the play is on YouTube. Someone put it there. Not sure why it cannot be discussed even if the party of the play did not post it? We have to get over the fact that plays that are made public need permission from the officials involved to discuss on any level. The video itself has no such information about what was called or what was legal or illegal about the play. That was only discussed in this kind of forum (I cannot speak for all places this could be discussed). Video is everywhere and will be used for discussions.

Peace

Yes, I did because the question was about a facemask call. IN the question I posted here.. for the purpose of discussion only --IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN A FACE MASK-- would the tackle be legal. It is a discussion of the tackle assuming NO face mask (which there was) but that is outside the scope of the question.

In the facemask question, the wing supported the call by the back judge-- the other post was simply asking, from those who don the stripes HOW they saw it... not for second-guessing.

I understand video is out there JRut.

My point was if this juxone is an official and works with the crew seen here, I'd be highly pissed off if a crewmate was running around posting video on multiple platforms wanting to know if I or someone else on the crew made the right call or not. I guess I didn't phrase it well originally as I could have.

I guess I do not see a big issue either way. I have posted plays of my crew for review. I do it all the time in basketball and often those are my plays or plays I was involved in. That never bothers me unless there was a discussion under no circumstances they did not want a play to be discussed. I guess I have been around video long enough it is a fair question to ask about what others think. This is kind of the reason sites like RefQuest are not becoming popular in the officiating community. The premise of that site is to show plays for discussion with mutliple people from different locations, not just your crew or friends if you wish.
