The debate within our crew was that since they are only holding one type of conference and only one coach is actualy in the huddle at any given time what's the problem....

I think we settled on the fact that only one coach is suposed to be "on the field" according to the RB and that if these coaches wanted to relay race through the time out then there is no specific restriction to this occurring.

Even so the rule application for test purposes and practical application on the field don't exactly match here I think.

As for 51, Our rules interp said that while the statement is technical true it excluded the "reasonable time to defend himself" clause which I guess the Fed requires to make this a 100% true statement *shrug* guess I forgot to practice my mind reading in the off season.

b. One coach on the field to confer with no more than 11 players at his team’s
huddle between the inbounds marks.

I also think bigjohn has the answer to the problem with question 11. The question does not give the location of the huddle. In most locations on the field the answer to the question is False. However if the huddle ends up right in front of the bench area then the question is True. I believe we are all reading into the question the fact that it says "huddle" means that we are out in the middle of the field and thus we can't have both coaches out there.

Because that's the way the definition of a conference reads in the book despite the fact the huddle definition makes no mention of where it happens. It's a typical BS NFHS question that we see every year on these tests, but the answer they want is false.

I read all the posts and said to myself, yep, I'm sure I got those. Today got my results, I missed questions 11, 51, and 97. I guess I can't read either.
