Rules on hitter center?

[Dirk]

Is it clipping when a ball carrier is being pursued by a tackler, and the tackler is brought down from behind by the ball carrier's team, with first contact about knee level? If not, I am sorry, but it is a penalty.

There's the rub, you only do it because the money's good Jrut. Shame on you, take some pride in what you do.

If my attitude offends you guy here, pardon me, but I would like people to care about about what they do as much as I do. I am out there on my time, without getting paid, and I don't have dreams of working full time at a higher level. I enjoy working with the young kids and have for a number of years now. My son has moved on and out of the program and I enjoy teaching this game. We improve every game and have had some championships and some losing seasons. This game teaches character which is sadly lacking in most of childrens' activities these days. We want the kids to own up to mistakes they make and learn from them. Most of the officials do this, and say sorry about that call or non call, and do a even job on thw whole. This group, after watching the game tape did do an even job, unfortunately is was an evenly bad job and do not seem to care. Not the example we want our team to aspire to.
