Previous down could have been 3rd down and they are then awarded a 1st down.

I got that, but why do you need to know that?

I think it is just a check for ourselves. Being aware of what the last down was may help keep an official's head in the game or help a confused coach who forgot a team got a 1st down.

Maybe they previous down was 3rd and a penalty was enforced and a 1st down was awarded. Then a coach discusses with the R about the rule and it is determined that the penalty is not an automatic 1st down. The previous down will now need to be known.

Wouldn't that require the coach to know the rules????????
