OHSAA Micromanaging!!

[Moosie74]

====================
Extension of Period: Crew did not extend the 2nd Period for an accepted live ball foul by the offense. Yes, we extend the period for an accepted live ball foul by either the offense or the defense if time expires during the down. We know there are a few exceptions to this such as loss of down. It is imperative that the Crew talk about this with each other. Does someone on this Crew know the Rule?
====================
That couldn't have been addressed to the crew or some other format that isn't quite so snarky?

I've virtually quit being the towel police. White, black, pink, all 3, I don't care. Team logo, don't care. "F. u. #66"-care. Yellow/gold color- care

Well thanks a lot, let's just hope the crew that has this team next week does their job and doesn't have to listen to a lot of BS about, "We had no problem LAST week".

It's not a big deal, you see a player with an illegal towel, Nike bands, Eye shade messages, all you have to do is tell him "get off your field" until he removes that crap. He can EITHER play or look cool, but he can't do both. His choice.

When enough officials do their job, he might get the message and none of us will EVER have to bother with this stuff again.

Well since you are up in the box running the clock, I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.

I am not as strict with the pink towels because last thing I want to do is tell a player he can't wear a pink towel.

Pink towels are not a problem, or violation. During October most towels that may apprear white likely have some tint of pink, at least in the perspective of the wise observer.

So if 2 players are wearing pink towels and 3 players are wearing blue towels, you ignore the difference? If so, what other rules do you set aside?

I'm glad Texas doesn't make us be the towel police.

It's not a question of being "Towel Police". NFHS rules are designed for Interscholastic (teenage) participants, and rather than try and outguess and stay ahead of the imagination of the American teenager, as to what might squeeze in under what may be "acceptable", NFHS Rule makers elected to "Keep it Simple", which also applies to other "uniform adornments".

Those in charge of fashion etiquite regarding uniforms are actually team coaches and administrators, who should be well aware of rules and limitations so as to simply, and totally, avoid unnecessary breachesand confrontations.

IA, I am guessing you accidentally left off the off your post cause you can't be serious.

Tom, I'm pretty sure IAUMP is pointing out that ajmc chastises HLinNC in one post and then suggests to ignore a violation of the pink towel October tradition in another.

I thought to do the same thing but then realized I couldn't care any less what he thinks about the subject.

Agreed. Got tired of being the only one chasing it.

A Pretender Crew: Watched video including a Try & saw the following: A. LM has his whistle in his mouth throughout the down; B. Neither the LM or LJ hustle in toward the players once the Try is kicked; C. There are fans within the 6’ restraining line & several fans walk on the field after the Try Kick is successful. Is this a Pretending Crew or a Contending Crew? After viewing this first play what impression did they leave with us?


Talk about Snarky!!

Some of the U's around here struggle with this one, 2 knee braces and 100# overweight make it hard to do anything quickly!


U & Their Towels: During rain or snow (hopefully not too soon!) the U will stand on the LOS with a towel covering the ball as he holds it. Place it on the ground as A moves toward the LOS & move quickly to your IP. If A is in hurry up no huddle offense, then place the ball on the ground & quickly move to your IP.

I'd have taken that a few weeks ago. The U that night manged, at one point when he really needed to move fast, to break into a moderately fast waddle. The R beat him to the new spot every time the play was longer than 5 yards. I'm not a football official, but I don't understand a system that puts guys who can't even jog on a varsity game.
