The game officials are responsible for ensuring that there is a three-minute warm-up period posted on the clock and the clock immediately started for use by the coaches immediately after the halftime intermission expires. The head coach is responsible for his team being on the field for mandatory warm-up time at the end of the scheduled halftime intermission. What would you tweak? Post the three minutes and run it - that's the NFHS position. It doesn't say post the 3 minutes at the end of the intermission, ensure both teams are present and start the clock. It says post the 3 minutes at the end of intermission and immediately start the clock. If your state wants to do something else, that's their prerogative, but let's not pretend there is ambiguity in what the NFHS wants done. |

I disagree, Brent. NFHS wants a warm up period, but I believe that they'll leave the implementation of that to the states. There's a lot of variability around half-time -- a band or two, other ceremonies, etc. -- a lot of variability about how far teams have to go between locker room and field, different facility sizes, etc. Unlike insisting on certain enforcements during the game, they'll leave this issue to the states, IMO.

Everything you are talking about relates to a longer intermission. The warmup period still will start immediately after the intermission is finished. All it comes down to in the end is that one of the team members must look at a clock or use a stopwatch to know what time they need to be back on the field. The NFHS says specifically how to run the warmup period. I don't think that they are trying to leave it up to states to decide how to do it. Last edited by LDUB; Sat Oct 31, 2009 at 07:01pm. |

And this is our problem how? The teams have some responsibities. When someone talks about variables, they start to sound like my dean, who thinks we have to bottle-feed our college students, some who are the same age as us. Last edited by Ref Ump Welsch; Mon Nov 02, 2009 at 08:43am. |

Well, you're making my point. I've never heard of a slow band earning a flag around here.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do. I'm saying that NFHS picks its battles, and IMO they will let states decide how to enforce the warmup.

Thanks all for your feedback. Decided it's not a fight I'm willing to fight, so we'll just do like the state says. Though I'm sure it will be a point of discussion next year (the "interpretation" was published the last week of the regular season). Though I'll send something to the officials advisory committee.
Though I agree with many, don't understand how "immediately after the half time intermission expires" could result in so many different interpretations!!! I'm tempted to ask a coach to stay off the field for an hour and see what happens. Heck, it's only a 15-yard penalty. |

In Louisiana our mechanics call for the wing officials to notify their respective coaches when there is five minutes remaining in the half time period.
