Maybe quote the whole rule, and not just a part that obviously does not apply... |

In your games, the official has judged that the actions DO NOT rise to that level. |
Also, to add ... the issue that this penalty deals with is sound designed to draw the offense off. Are you guys playing your football games on hardwood or something? I can't even fathom a player being able to stomp his feet on a football field loud enough that ANYONE can hear it - and certainly not loud enough to mess anyone up. Yet you seem bent out of shape and angry over it. Are they wearing tapshoes or something?

As for the "warn then flag" approach: I can imagine an extreme case where B's actions could ONLY be interpreted as disconcerting. But that's rarely what we see. We usually see borderline cases: the point of warning is to let B know that their actions are borderline, and if they persist it might become apparent that their aim is to disconcert. And at that point, they would warrant the flag. |

I wonder if bigjohn goes on police web sites and criticizes them for not giving speeding tickets to guys who drive 56 in a 55 zone.
