REPLY: Welcome to the world of officiating. One other recommendation. Stay tuned to this board and since you're apparently from Mississippi, register on the National Federation discussion forum as well (link below). This board will get a mixture of posts for both Federation and NCAA football. Most folks identify the code they're requesting, but some do not. The NF site is pretty much exclusively Federation. As you frequent these boards, you'll get to know many of the posters and begin to understand each person's relative strengths. Don't take everything you read here as gospel, but filter it through your new association's leadership to see how their philosophy might differ.

As BobM said not everything you read is gospel. You'll learn pretty quick of those who do speak the gospel, but we are human and sometimes we do post things in error, so I recommend taking what you read here in regards to rules and find the answer you are given in the rule book. It'll help you fully understand the rule.
