sure thing coach
 

FReshman game last night...Varsity coach comes down to sideline. Home is losing time is running out and have no timeouts. Visitors are in shotgun, snap, take a knee. The Head (varsity) coach yells "He can't take a knee from the shotgun" "what coach?" "he can only lose a yard if he takes a knee!"

"sure thing coach......"

Last night, JV. Home winning 28-0, returning a punt for a TD, but on the runback we had a Perfect, Beautiful, Textbook-type block in the back. You could use this for an officials training video. Drew flags from 3 of us. Right in front of his own coaches too.

"Oh that's horrible! You're only calling that to keep us from scoring."

"What?"

"If we hadn't scored, you wouldn't call a ticky tack foul like that!"

"Coach - THREE flags were on the ground 10 seconds before your guy scored."

"That don't make it right!"

whatever.

"That is a fumble!!! He has to bring his arm above the shoulder for it to be a legal spike!!"

Heard this last night when the opposing team spiked the ball to stop the clock. He said a pass had to come above the shoulder if not it is a fumble.

We told him at half as long as the QB receives the snap (without fumbling) and throws the ball to the ground forward it was a legal spike.

We stated if you run your shovel pass and the QB pitches it forward and it is dropped do you want us to rule it a fumble.

Didn't think so.

Gotta love that come back !!!

REPLY: About ten years ago...pass intercepted. Defensive lineman coming back executes as beautiful a block in the back as mcrowder described earlier. Three or four flags fly as the block was right in the middle of the field at what had just become the point of attack. B's head coach is trying to be a wisea$$ and says to our HL, "So how do you know who's flag is who's? Do you have your names on them?" HL picks up his flag and shows the coach. It seems that a new offical who our crew had mentored the year prior had given each of us a flag with our name embroidered on it in small black letters. Coach's jaw dropped and he walked away sulking. You gotta love those moments!!

Might have you beat. Maybe too many of us were watching the same thing during the play but all 4 of us had a block in the back on a return and all our flags were on the same line across the field right in front of the coach. Coach still had the guts to argue the call.
