More Coin Toss
In the KC-DEN NFL game Sunday, the Broncos won the toss and elected to receive. When the referee announced the Broncos won the toss, KC captains just walked off the field and the referee had to yell at them to get their attention to ask them which goal to defend.
Have you ever had a situation where, for whatever reason, a team failed to properly take care of business at the coin toss. I'm not talking about the "we'll kick" option. I'm talking about just simply not being able to follow instructions or not being able/willing to participate in the coin toss, or running off the field before the coin toss was over. What did you do? I see no rule covering that scenario. PS--its a pet peeve of mine for NFL captains to run off the field and not line up for the final signal from the referee. |

I had one years ago in a Pop Warner game...
2nd half Captain's meeting. Team B (behind in the score) sent only one captain. Team A sent four. The choices are made, the players swing around, the referee signals and says "All right men, shake hands and bring your teams out for the 2nd half". The team B captain looks at us, looks at A, turns and leaves. Head Ref throws his flag and signals USC on the captain and we administer on the kickoff. Being a young official at the time, I asked what rule he was administering in that situation... Rule 9.5.1g "Refusing to comply with an official’s request." |

If he clearly willfully ignores the second request, then yes, I'd say flag this at the PW level or junior-high level. By the time they're in HS, if they haven't learned class, we're not going to be able to teach it to them in one game anyway. (Says the HS teacher, sadly enough.) |

I agree with TRUmpire that the kid probably did not listen well to your request. If you work with kids everyday, as I do being a teacher, the can be looking at you square in the eye and not hear a word you are saying. Often they are not being beligerant, just have their mind in "la la land." Talk to the coach if you want, but do not flag it unless the kid says "forget that" or something indicating he heard you and is just being a jerk.
