When our state finals are on TV, the broadcasters are really bad with the rules. I think they should have an official in the booth as a reference. He doesn't have to be on air, but can give the correct rule to the broadcasters.

It seems that the NCAA is giong to this during the bowl season to avoid broadcaster confusion. They put either an inactive replay or conference commish in the booth to help clear up any confusion.

voiceof: Good for you for wanting to learn the rules. Like those said, Referee Mag or NFHS sells many great books. On a side note, remember, there is no such thing as a "lateral". It's a backwards pass, that's it. Nothing more. That's one thing some officials crack up about when we hear announcers call them laterals.
