30 Yard Penalty

[APG]

Just an FYI, in the NFL, if a defensive pass interference penalty is also simultaneously a personal foul, they tack on the 15 yards from the spot of interference (assuming the DPI is accepted). Never seen this happen, much in the same vain of intentional pass interference.

Makes a lot more sense at lower levels though, where DPI is not a spot foul.

Maybe -- just maybe -- having such a punitive penalty is the very reason you don't see it.

Something tells me that coaches do not even know this rule exists.

My crew jokes about that rule all the time. Call it once and watch the forest burn down around you!

Once, JV game, 15 or so years ago.

LB covering TE near mid-field, TE gets by him, ball is approaching and LB grabs back of the jersey and pulls him to the ground.

Coaches know it and teach it. DPI is always better than a TD and we know no ref will call the additional 15. I have seen it happen but not called more than a few times. Of course most offenses get away with OPI near the goal line on pick plays so it all evens out.
