This happened at least 5 times in OHSAA Finals!
7.5.2 SITUATION C: Quarterback A1 drops back to pass and while under a good
defensive rush, he throws the ball forward: (a) at the feet of two onrushing defensive linemen; or (b) 15 yards behind A3 who has run a deep post pattern; or (c) 5 to 10 feet over the head of eligible A3 who lined up near a sideline. RULING: Illegal forward pass in (a). In (b) and (c), the referee will have to judge whether the pass was intentionally thrown incomplete or whether A1 was simply unable to throw the ball close to A3. COMMENT: Some factors to look for in making an intentional-grounding decision are absence of eligible offensive receivers in the area and the “dumping” to avoid loss of distance. The ability and skill of the passer and the pressure of the defense are also factors to consider. (7-5-2d) It was not called once!

Not surprised... the rule says, "In (b) and (c), the referee will have to judge whether the pass was intentionally thrown incomplete or whether A1 was simply unable to throw the ball close to A3."
In most of these cases, the ruling is going to be that he was simply unable (perhaps he was covered too well).

OK what is your point? Obviously you did not read the entire ruling.

Are you sure it was at least five times? Could it have been less than five? Are you sure you got them all counted? It's imperative that we know the exact number in order to give you our best guess as to what the guys on the field saw and why they ruled like they did.

Just in case you missed it.
In (b) and (c), the referee will have to judge whether the pass was intentionally thrown incomplete or whether A1 was simply unable to throw the ball close to A3. It's a judgment call. And guess what? Your judgment don't mean dick.

Was the QB out of the tackle box?
I was at a game where the back judge threw the flag for intentional gounding. Really. He missed the spot of the foul by about 20 yards. There was no doubt about the intent as the ball hit about lane 8 of the track surrounding the field. When I was talking to the opposite wing official later, he said the coach (whose QB threw the ball) didn't have a problem with the call. It was that obvious. Except to maybe the R. |

Anyone that watched all six final games like I did knows what I am talking about.

the referee will have to judge whether
the pass was intentionally thrown incomplete or whether A1 was simply unable to throw the ball close to A3. Pretty easy to tell when a kid is dumping the ball 25 yards out of bounds to prevent a sack. I wish they would just take IG out of the NFHS rules altogether.

Not that I'm in a state that uses NFHS for football, but really? I'm sure coaches all over your state are clamoring to allow QBs to ground the ball as they please!
