I use the long-toss flags as a WH and have the same problem. I've tried tightening my belt till it hurts - no good. I've thought about putting them back in my pockets.

Got my Reebok NFL watch. Great watch - but you can't preset it for anything under 1:00. So you can't use it for timing the play clock. Only once have I had to time a high school game on the field, so...

Mandatory warm-up period

Wisconsin is saying that the mandatory 3-minute warm-up period must be held. If a team is late getting back, you penalize them, and re-set the clock to 3:00. This is in conflict with the rule that...

I'd go with delay of game (he purposely commited a foul to prevent the ball from being put in play). Then I'd rule abuse of the timing rule, and start the clock on the ready. Then nicely warn him...

I believe the NFL rule is a bit different than the college rule. In NCAA, the take down has to be immediate - I don't think the NFL rule includes that wording.

Can I see some rule support for that? A player can't get up (or attempt to get up) while in possession of the ball while on the floor. If he doesn't have possession, he can get up. Pretty simple.
