Unsportsmanlike Conduct Question
Hello all. I am the PA announcer for a JC football team, and last night we had penalty enforcement that didn't seem quite right to any of us in the box.
On a 2nd down, the defense (home team) sacked the QB, which would have made it 3rd and 17. The sacker however was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. The penalty was enforced, but the down was still 3rd, with 2 yards to go. We all thought that was an automatic 1st down, fairly certain that we have seen unsportsmanlike conducts result in automatic first down's in the past in that situation where the 15 yds wouldn't make a 1st on its own. Game is played with NCAA rules. Was this correct? Also, is there a difference in High School NF rules? Thanks for your responses. |

Nor does UC carry an AFD is Canada. UC is called Objectionable Conduct, and is 10 yards tacked on the next play.

If not a typo, how old are the players? I coach youth football in New York City, and I'm impressed with the apparent interest out west that has such things as a press box, etc. at such a game. Miked officials would be really stunning! BTW, here we do have a few night games for some of our older players (teen age), but things like PA, etc. would seem really lavish to us. Some games our Pee-Wees & below don't have goal posts (not that we could kick over them anyway) , and usually the fields are chalked (if at all) only every 10 yards and frequently have cones instead of regulation pylons. Actually even if it was a typo, I'm still somewhat impressed by a HS JV having a night game. Robert |

We had a varsity game a couple of weeks ago at a small school. The PA announcer got every signal right (including the difference between illegal motion and illegal shift and he even got a spearing call right). He gave the usual sportsmanship speech at the beginning - but also did it two or three times during the game. He introduced the officials three or four times, including once in the fourth quarter when he said "and haven't they done a great job tonight." During an injury timeout, he introduced us all, then read a 30 second public service announcement from the state about how people can get involved in officiating.
Obviously, I wrote him up to the state office, as well as the school. Which had someone to meet us and take care of us the whole night - right up to the time we got into our car at the end of the game. Gee, sometimes this can be fun! |
