A-11 Offense ??

What if the ball is never touched by the recievers?

See now you have me doing it, what if the ball comes in contact with a blade of grass, should it be time for you to blow the whistle or call a penalty, throw a flag; maybe illegal use of the brain or hands or feet or fingers or toes...maybe illegal touching of the ball during the game penalty...?

ridiculous....!

Quote:We want more officials so that the game is covered better. I work 3 sports, including football and basketball and the last thing I want is to interrupt the game unnecessarily. Still 7 officials can cover a field better than 4 and that increases the likelihood we will make the necessary calls correctly so the players can really be responsible for the outcome of the game.

You should only try and officiate one sport at a time, you authority maniac...

How many refs do you suppose is enough? One per player, so that they players can decide the outcome of the game?...you are so full of bull carp...!

Do you really believe that the refs are there to make the game more enjoyable. If there weren't so many ridiculous rules, you wouldn't need a of team of refs to enforce them...think about it....offense vs defense vs refs?!?!

Spoken like a true ref...

It's not a rule change. You're wrong.

Your post was illegal use of the brain!

The refs ruin the sport, counter that argument...!

You can not deny that the more rules there are to enforce, that justify more refs needed to enforce them, the more likelyhood that the game will be interupted to enforce the multitude of rules...

Which takes this BS full circle back to the point of who it is that decides what and how many rules there will be, the coaches. You will not care to hear this but the NCAA rules committee (all coaches and AD's) are pressured by many groups, i.e. the trainer's organization, TV networks, AFCA, etc but the only influence the refs have is that once the committee decides they want a rule, the rules editor, a ref supervisor, helps them write it in a way it can be officiated.

Without officials it would be a sandlot game.
