Crews applying rules....

Any of these sound familiar?

I hate those guys. Being under 21 (I'm a youngin--second year official) I get a lot of flack from the coaches. But I don't have rules stuck from the 1970s like a lot of officials do.

We had an ineligble receiver downfield a few weeks ago, and when we replayed the down the defensive coach (my sideline) went nuts saying it was a loss of down. I mean, he was CERTAIN it was loss of down. He said he wanted to protest, and when I told them that the GHSA doesn't recognize protests he said he wanted to talk to the white hat.

Evidently, back before I was born IRD was a loss of down and the coach just had a flashback.
