He can't pick it up, he did state is was 9th grade, I hope we can be educational and use a little preventive officiating here. |

In an NFL training video they showed the center on a goal line play move the ball over a foot forward. The defense was now well in the NZ, however so was the offense. The supervisor said to "not call any foul on the play, especially not on the defense."

Certainly we all understand preventive officiating however in the 10 years I have been doing this I have always been intrigued with how we interpert the rules and which ones we feel are nit picky and are allowed to be let go for a certain amount of time, and how each official has a different level of tolerance for this.
In this situation what the center is doing is clearly illegal, however the respinses have varied from talking to him, letting him do it several time before tossing a flag to no harm no foul. I guess this is part of what I love about officiating. I would love to know how all of you would handle a D linemen with his hand in the NZ? |
