Diving over a fielder

I missed the following question on my state test:

R1, one out. R1 is stealing on the pitch. B3 hits a line drive to F3's right. F3 dives and catches the ball for the 2nd out. While F3 is lying on...

IMHO, you needn't go into officiating thinking there is a "most dangerous" position, because chances are that the crew will just put you in whatever vacancy they have. If you are in good physical...

Live ball foul, since it's not a foul until the snap. If he'd adjusted his motion to a path that was parallel to the LOS before the snap, we'd have nothing (That is, ignoring the obvious false start...

Warn them a couple of times, then flag B for delay of game. Under no circumstances should you ever give the offense a free play.

Not digging in the rules book here, but I believe since you had a PF, and not a USC, regular enforcement applies. If it's a foul on A, basic spot is the spot of the foul; if it's a foul on B, then...

Had one

Varsity game about 2 years ago. It was a KO and I had R's restraining line. R breaks it for a long one on my side and, surprised by the long return, my only thought was "Beat him to the GL". I turned...

Free kick following a fair catch

NFHS:

2. Has this ever happened in a game you worked.
3. If a team did elect to free kick, how much time would you allow them. Would you line them...

I mean that they go to the yard line where the ball is (Presumably to do their job better). If I'm on the 10, so are they. I've always taken the approach that as long as they are not coaching,...

Statisticians on the sidelines

Do you care if statisticians don't stay in the team box? Does it matter what they are wearing (e.g. team colors vs. inconspicuous clothing)?

Horse Collar

NCAA. Did anyone see the horse collar call in the Michigan vs. Notre Dame game? Did that qualify? He didn't pull the runner down; just sort of a grab and release. Thanks.......

Good call!!

There's nothing that receiver could have done to rectify the fact that he jumped; therefore, it is a foul before the snap. Shutting it down was the correct thing to do. Furthermore, any time you can...
