On the Minnesota officials website, they gave an example of an official winding the clock before stopping it after a first down. They told us not to do it anymore. I don't exactly know their reasoning, so I was asking any MN official "in the know" if we should or shouldn't wind the clock in the side zone where forward progress is established inbounds before being taken out of bounds behind progress spot. If we give no signal the clock should still run, however I believe it's a good communication tool to wind the clock in this situation. That is only my opinion. I can see both sides of the argument and was just wondering which they want us to do since this situation wasn't specifically covered. |

Communicating that the runner was inbounds is a separate step among the crew, and there's plenty of time to manage that later.

Where I work they forbid us from wearing black shorts to work lower level games for 20 years previous. Last year they allowed them. Next year we are ONLY allowed to wear black. The point is that there are people making a living by telling officials what to do. They need to justify their existance on the payroll. Be patient. |

You wouldn't recall something you didn't see, would you?

phansen, my understanding of what Minnesota wants us to do is to signal stop the clock to stop a running clock and wind the clock for a stopped clock. We are not to wind a running clock or wind it and immediately stop it for some covert signal of when to start the clock.
The white hat controls when to restart the clock following a stopped-clock play. If he doesn't wind it, then it starts on the snap or first touching on a kick off. |
