Penalty on Try

[actmiller]

I have seen that quite often. My opinion, is that some officials are in it for the paycheck and neglect to give the teams their all by not reading and re-reading the rules on a regular basis. In fact, I don't think some of the officials can even read. Every official on the field needs to know the rules just a well as the WH. When everyone knows the rules not only will the games be officiated correctly but most games will be officiated equitable between officiating crews as well. We won't have as much of, "that crew didn't do it that way last week", or "we have been doing that all year and you are the first one that has told me that it is illegal", etc.
