This happened at least 5 times in OHSAA Finals!

Why in the hell would anyone take this narcissistic clown seriously?

His shtick is to get on message boards, and rip officials, period.

He's been publicly admonished on the boards by the administrators, yet nothing has changed. He boasts about the fact that he's not anonymous and actually thinks that not being so lends some credibility to his rants.

I thought his schtick was coming on message boards, mis-explaining a rule, and then complaining that no one goes by his misunderstandings. Or was that Robert G?

Yeah, I don't know what I am looking at or talking about but IG and HTR are never called especially in the state final games.

Here is an example of a training powerpoint. Notice no mention of just throwing the ball away, even if over the receiver's head.

Ooooooooooo PowerPoint made from a place or organization that most of us have no association with. So what!!!!

Many here know the rule and many of us work both codes.

Peace

My point is this PPT was made like many using the same language many are using. Most offical think that if there is a receiver in the area it can never be IG. That is not what the rules or Case books say!

Please provide the research data you have in hand to prove this allegation.

Trying to respond to you in a useful manner, again here.

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.
