If it lands short of the end line (in the endzone), we give the touchback signal. If it crosses the end line in flight, we give the "no good" signal. Works for us. |

Sounds right. I don't recall reading this anywhere.

how bout when it goes flying past (or into) an upright? or when it touches the ground in the endzone (untouched by B beyond the neutral zone).
yes, there could be a hurricane wind out of nowhere that blows it all the way back across the neutral zone. but practically speaking the chances of that happening are negligible. whereas the chances of PAT getting blocked a split second after the umpire blows an inadvertent whistle are not negligible, imo. |

In NFHS rules, the try is over as soon as it is obvious the try is not successful or if it scores. For all practical purposes, the try is over once the ball is kicked. Here in TX, the BJ has the whistle for both the try and for field goals. There is a lot more that can happen on a try in NCAA rules.

Because technically the ball becomes dead when the whistle blows if it's not already a dead ball by rule. If you blow it when the ball is in flight, the ball becomes dead before it scores the try. That's an argument used by those who oppose the R blowing the whistle as soon as it's kicked. A coach could challenge the application of the rule by saying the whistle blew before the kick was good and he would technically be right.

My (admittedly irrelevant) point was that the umpire blowing the whistle as soon as the try is kicked could be a recipe for disaster under ncaa rules. Are you saying that's not the case? Or that I'm missing something else. Little help? |
