this is a state mandated rule any personal foul away from the ball and the flow of play is a cheap shot. every coach that has to attend these mandatory meetings so they understand the severity of making a cheap shot away from the ball. we are playing high school football, in the NFL you see this sort of thing all the time. this is not football and thats why it results in a ejection. this ruling came from the state, so you will not see this in the rule book. im quite sure each state is handling this penalty different.

REPLY: timharris...I applaud your state's intentions and principles, but not necessarily their methods. If they really want coaches to "...understand the severity of making a cheap shot away from the ball," what's the better way to do it: (1) allow them to keep the TD and penalize 15 yards on the try, or (2) really allow them to feel the pain and penalize it as a live-ball foul which negates their score? |
