Couple of Questions....

[BigModdy]

Newer official here and had these situations come up over the weekend. Looking for any feedback you guys may have....


1. Does a late hit personal foul by B automatically grant the offense a first
down? I thought only roughing the kicker, holder, snapper and defensive pass
interference granted the first down. In two cases the 15 yard penalty still left
A short of a first.

2. Any player on the field may request a time out not just the captain correct? Had a coach and a senior official tell me that only the captain or coach can request a time out at any time.
