I totally agree on all accounts, but as written that's not the way it is.

When we had defensive holding on the TD, I signaled in this order. Holding, defense. Touchdown. Penalty enforced on the kickoff. The PA announcer said that the holding was declined. Well, that's not what I signaled. So now I had 2 crew members coming to me assuming I had screwed up. Then I had the defensive coach livid when we enforced the holding on the kickoff. Fortunately, the H was able to talk him down off the ledge pretty quickly. (Didn't matter in the end -- the kickoff went through the uprights, so it would've been a touchback anyway.) |

This is not one you can avoid by taking your time. It's a foul that must be called -- we don't know where the pass is going to go. And we shouldn't have to pass on an obvious DPI flag because a receiver caught the football. What if there's an offensive penalty we could otherwise offset? Now we've penalized the offense unnecessarily. |

Agree. Changing your call selection to adjust to a bad rule only compounds the problem. Fix the rule at the root of the problem.

DPI but A receiver makes the catch, he is tackled at the B1. --> Decline DPI, A's ball at the B1. DPI but A receiver makes the catch, he scores a touchdown. --> Accept DPI, enforce on try or kickoff. You're penalizing B double for essentially "not fouling hard enough". My beef with it is that it encourages B to foul hard in all cases, to make sure there is no score. If he's gonna shove the receiver, he may as well maul him. |
