Fonzzy07, The question you need ask yourself....does a "few INCHES" make THAT much of a difference? I mean, without encroaching on those few inches on the field do you really think the players wouldn't be able to see the signals?

It's been rumored that officiating crews who allowed coaches onto the field (even slightly) without flagging it had lost opportunities for working the state playoff tournament. We heard there were "spotters" from the state athletic association who were often sent to stadiums without us knowing about it and "dinging" the officials for allowing coaches onto the fields.
