I think that the head of our officials knows what he is doing.
If not, I don't think that he would be in the Big Ten.

My crew has a simple solution to questions from coaches who don't "believe" us on a rule. After the game, if the coach approaches us, my white hat will meet the coach near the locker rooms, hand him a business card, and ask that he email with the question and then we'll get back to him (the coach) with a response with the rule references, etc. We've only had to do this once a year, if even that. This year, we had to pacify a coach who thought that ANY contact with the head was illegal (this was after his quarterback got sacked while crouching down to absorb the blow and the defender was on top of him in such a way his arms were wrapped around the QB's head as they were going down).

One thing I do have on the field with me is a laminated card from the rule book which has a list of all the penalties and yardages, LOD, AFD, etc. That has come in handy more than a time or two, I'm glad (and sorry) to say.

Does the NFL have a rule book at the sides?
Does the CFL have a rule book at the sides?
Does the AFL have a rule book at the sides?
Does the Pac10 have a rule book at the sides?
Does the SEC have a rule book at the sides?
Does the Big10 have a rule book at the sides?
Does the Big12 have a rule book at the sides?
Does the ACC have a rule book at the sides?
Does the MAC have a rule book at the sides?
Does NY have a rule book at the sides?
MA?
PA?
TX?
CA?
Of the 50 states, how many mandate a rule book at the sides?
I bet Oiho might be the only state. I don't care what your Big10 ref says.... he still ****s every day like I do.

We allow touchbacks, mid field is the 50 yard line and call it ham. I'll be proud to be different. We have a procedure that works fine if the situation arises to address the rule.

At least you know how to follow properly and use a lightbulb.

Funny you mention touchbacks, because we have them as well. Maybe not in all the same circumstances as the US game, but we do have them.

Like the guy earlier said, that's great that Oiho has their own procedure. Their officials should follow it.

I don't know, but they all have a RESOURCE in the Replay official who I would bet has access to the book. Does this RESOURCE diminish your integrity and lead to the destruction of your control of the game? NO. Isn't this a far more intrusive attack on your power than the presence of a stinkin Rule Book?



Does NY have a rule book at the sides? Don't know
MA? Don't know
PA? DON"T KNOW
TX? MOST TEXANS CAN"T READ
CA? WHO CARES!

He's a light eater. Might be every other day.
