Block in the Back away from the Play?

Many of you have probably seen this from the other forum, but in case you didn't:

All seriousness aside, it makes me laugh.

What part of it makes you laugh? The fact that one of our own is showing his arse for the world to see and who, if someone desired, could possible be charged with assault , or sued?

It's beautiful, as far as I'm concerned. Get the **** off the field.

Had a V game this year where the coaches were warned about encroaching the field.

So on a sweep to my side, as LJ, I take a few steps upfield and there he is again - dumb coach. I have about a half-step to get out of the way. I didn't take it. Hit him, flagged him.

The only thing that would've made the video better is the linesman/line judge tossing a flag in the air after hitting each coach while going by.

Coaches that are on the field like that are putting my wings in danger. That's what they don't get -- we're there to work and I don't want to have to worry about having to slalom around coaches while running IN BOUNDS.

First year doing H.S. for me. I have tried almost everything to learn to manage the sideline. I know you have to start early in the game.

One JV game, in the first quarter, the coaches are trying to claim their territory on the PLAYER'S field. First one step on the field, then two. I look down the line and three coaches are a couple steps on the field. I look across to the other sideline and no coaches are on the field. So I say to the "get back" coach, "Look at the other sideline. Do you see any of their coaches on the field? You're guys have to get off the field!" They all move back and I'm thinking I'm a great communicator.

A few plays later, this assistant comes running up to me and says "Look over there NOW, they're ALL on the field!". That day, I learned something new NOT to say to them. LOL

You can (and should) have the flag without the intentional contact by the lard arse official. That is BS on the part of that official and has no place on football field, even at the pee wee level.
