#7 is my favorite.


Player Equipment. A very good official noticed a team that had 3” X 3” “Paw Prints” on their towels. These are illegal. This took place during the Week 5 games. Rightfully so he asked why did the Crews for the Weeks 1 – 4 Games with this team not take care of this? We agree. We are all working & officiating together for the good of all.

That's the only one that I think is really micromanaging, the rest have good points to some degree (I don't really look at the ball manufacturer either, I guess it's more important for playoff games simply because they're a sponsor, I guess). But it's NFHS that insists on making us fashion police, not OHSAA, so not really seeing what's got you so worked up.

#4 is not how it's done in PA.

BJ blows whistle. How is the U to blow his whistle when it's a 30 or 40 yard FG attempt?

We keep both wings on the line and send U back under the goalpost along with BJ here....

That makes sense then. Thanks.

I get that they are illegal and should be addressed because of that there is zero advantage here which is probably why crews smiled and moved on.

====================
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?

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