Your posts tend to rub people the wrong way because they invariably tend to point to an official SOMEWHERE not doing his job in a way that you (lacking any training) felt he should. So people see that you are the poster and they shut down and don't give your posts a chance. Those of us who don't shut down and actually do try to reason out the situations posted likely get completely turned off by the kind of statement you've made here. This is the second such post. Not only have you decided that you (lacking any training) understand the rules better than most officials... but now you've gone further and decided that you also know what "most officials think". Perhaps one local idiot that officiated one of your games and was foolish enough to discuss his rules interpretations with you does think in the way you say. But you're not going to get a whole lot of honest discussion if you continue to tell us (officials ourselves) what "most officials think". NO official that I've ever discussed this rule with thinks in the manner you have attributed to "most" of us. None, zero, zilch, nada. NO ONE. Perhaps some rookies come in with such absurd notions - but if they've gone through the training, and actually listened, there is no way they come OUT of their training with the understanding you describe. Most COACHES believe what you state. Perhaps even most coach-potato-self-proclaimed-rules-experts without any officials' training believe what you state. Officials don't. If you want to continue discussing situations here with us, stop making assumptions as to what we think.

Look guys, I defend officials more than anyone. I know it is a thankless job and very important part of the game of HS football. I just don't understand why the powers that be don't instruct them to call this rule as written. If the ball is thrown away to save a sack it should be called. There is no tackle box and no requirement for a receiver in the area.
7-5-2e stands on its own! e. A pass intentionally thrown incomplete to save loss of yardage or to conserve time I would just like to see it called this way or change the rule!

And unlike you I have actually been on a State Final field twice. I have actually had to call some things that many have watched or complained about. I have had to answer questions as to why things happen in a game that the state is watching. You have no idea what all officials are thinking and often they are not always agreeing with calls you can make in these situations. I am sure there were officials that disagreed with these calls. But then again you consider the source and the motives of those people. Some officials are complaining no matter what you do. Others are complaining because a philosophy or rule was not followed based on training. Your issue is local and with your games. If you have a problem then talk to your people, do not come here when you cannot show us one video to even have us debate. There has got to be a play on YouTube somewhere if these were so egregious right? Peace

Not here you don't. Much to the contrary.

I meant I defend you when I am at games, coaching or spectating. I hear what you are saying but there were at least 5 times in the state final that it was very clear that the QB was dumping the ball OOB over the intended receiver's head and it was not called IG.
That is a State of Ohio problem, I agree. It should be remedied. I am the champion of officials and often respected by them in person. Too bad you guys here take my questions and comments so personally. Thanks for the banter. Time for a break.
