Spot foul penalties
Just wanting to know a list of the spot foul penalties. When officials throw their flags are they always throwing them at the spot where the foul occoured?
One more thing. Regarding clock stoppage near the sidelines. Obviously the clock stops if a players goes out on his own. What if he's forced out by a defender? |

The clock will stop if the runner continues his forward progress after contacting the defender. |
so if the offense is at their own 35. a hold occurs at midfield the penalty for a hold is 10 yards and the offense moves up to their own 40?

Let me put this all together so we agree.
A's ball on A's 35. A runs the ball to B's 47. A53 is flagged for holding at midfield. The basic spot is the end of the run, B's 47. The foul occurred at midfield, behind the basic spot. This is the spot of enforcement. The 10-yard penalty from midfield put the ball at A's 40. Replay the down if the line to gain has not been achieved after enforcement of the penalty, or 1st down if is has. |

From your comments, I gather that you're not a football official. Here's a crash course in enforcements. 1. High school rules deploy a concept called the basic spot, and a principle known as all but one. 2. Very simply: the basic spot is the end of the run for running plays and the previous spot for loose ball plays (a couple more precisely defined but not entirely transparent concepts). 3. Enforcement of penalties against the offense or defense is from the basic spot in all cases but one, namely a foul by the offense behind (closer to their goal) the basic spot. Those are enforced from the spot of the foul. All others -- all fouls by the defense, and fouls by the offense beyond the basic spot -- are enforced from the basic spot. Hope that helps! |

You need to learn the All But One Principle. |
I know that I did not have a forum to bounce these questions off of when I first started. We reviewed the case book, referred back to the rule book, discussed it, and tried to make sense of it logically. Son of a gun if it didn't make sense after while...
No substitute for studying the rule and case book. Of course lower division games are your friends as well. Game situations with a mentor to guide you is very helpful. Sometimes getting it wrong is the best learning tool of all. You just don't want to have that feeling of getting wrong again. Good luck...Jim |
