Soccer guy chiming in with a probably-dumb question:

The rule says there is an untimed down unless the foul is on the "team in possession." Since it was 4th down, the play ended with a change of...

Most of the time it's moot, since a "parry" usually sends the ball out of the area or out of bounds.

Basically, in the opinion of the referee, if the goalie intentionally touches the ball with his...

Another question -- Does it have to be a "call" to be reviewed? That is, can a manager challenge a "no call" on, say, a possible balk?

Q re: the double foul call late in the second half:

If the officials go to the monitor and decide that one of the double fouls was actually a Flagrant 1, does that change the restart?

To clarify on Q#3, in soccer if you hit someone in the knee with your face, the foul is on you. Even putting yourself in that position can result in the referee awarding an IFK, even if you put your...

Weird Play -- FGCU/Lipscomb

A41 inbounds to A5, who catches the ball above his head near halfcourt. B23 guarding closely, leaning toward the slightly-taller A5. A5 turns, with the ball still above his head, to face B23. B23...

Not sure if "kicked and moves" actually eliminates the "stepped on" IFK goal. If a stepped-on ball moves down (deeper into the grass), that could still count unless the rule specifically says...

If I remember right, in NFHS if you stop for an injury the team with possession when the whistle blows gets an indirect kick.

Is that still the rule?
