30 Yard Penalty

[mtridge]

Flipping thru the rule book was suprised to discover there is actually the ability to have a 30 yards penalty if there is intentional pass interference. Just curious if anyone has actually called this before and what did the player did to deem it necessary for the additional yardage.

Never seen this. Never seen anything to make me think this should be called. But I still like the rule being there.

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!
