This brings to mind one of my favorite penalty stories. Just an average play in an average game, the umpire drops a flag reasonably close to the B sideline. He reports to me he has clipping on B. The B coach, noticeably upset shouts out, "hey Bob, the defense can't clip". To which he replies, "you're right coach, the defense can't clip." The B coach looks really confused at this point, especially since Bob is continuing with the 15 yd walk-off. Once again we hear, "but Bob, the defense CAN'T clip!" To which Bob just replies, "you got it coach, the defense can't clip that's why there's a flag." The coach throws his hands up in frustration, Bob sets the ball down and I blow it ready while telling Bob who's just grinning at me "you're killing me, you know that right?"

5 yard 10 yard 15 yard Half the distance DQ Spot Special enforcement (see kicking) These are the penalties and they apply to both teams. They are applicable depending upon what foul may have been committed and the location on the field. |

in saying "all of the above", do you mean all penaties can be called on both teams or what waltjp said?

Walt responded to what you meant, I responded to what you said. This is a prime example of why we should all master Rule 2 (Definitions) and be able use them properly when communicating. Think of it like this, a foul is an infraction of the rules and a penalty is the punishment that is accessed for committing a foul. |

I LOVE agreeing with the coach! I once worked a youth game and after a catch the opposing coach was yelling that the receiver only had one foot inbounds. "Thanks coach, that's what I saw as well." "BUT HE ONLY HAD ONE FOOT IN." "Coach, you're right I agee with you." "HUH?"

When you say "distance portion," does that mean Fed will allow you to, say, ignore the distance on a roughing the passer penalty and just go with a first down? That would be bizarre. |
