bigjohn Watch this play, would you just send this kid out for 1 play or would you flag for USC as well? https://plus.google.com/photos/105609706407292091319/albums/5796356759931035889?authkey=CKTv_KmSh5yi5AE
D Ray I do not have the NF book at my fingers, but in order for the 1 play sit out rule to be enforced, shouldn't the helmet come off during a live ball situation? Certainly the action is worthy of 15 yds for USC
BktBallRef bigjohn wroteWatch this play, would you just send this kid out for 1 play or would you flag for USC as well? The rule does not apply to players who remove their helmet. Yes, I would bust him for 15 yards. In fact, I suspect my state supervisor would view this as taunting and want the player ejected.
Adam bigjohn wrotePretty sure this kid got one play no USC Then the officials were wrong twice, if that's the case.
Robert Goodman From here pretty clearly USC, but probably the responsible official said, "You were just taking the helmet off because you were subbing out, right? Not that you would taunt anybody."

Welpe JasonTX wroteLooks like Unsportsmanlike from my seat and 1 play. I'm assuming you're speaking NCAA. I don't think we'd send him off for a play for that, just flag him for UNS?
