Our football schedules are generally not assigned. Schools contact directly with crews and usually do it as soon as they contract the games. That means it often starts 4-5 years out. Our crew already...

Agreed. I get that often from snappers and coaches. Defenders will shoot the gap and the guard blocks the defender into the snapper. That's why you have to watch those gaps closely or you could...

Yikes. I agree with bigjohn here. This is correct but very unlikely to happen. Touching the kick doesn't give the R player free reign to hit the kicker.

I would not get technical on the ineligible downfield if the pass was attempted for the screen behind the LOS and just floated over his head. That is not the spirit of that rule. The illegal touching...

They are making $95 per game. That's more than most states so there isn't much catching up.

Try to calculate a $5 raise for every official for every event. It will make $20k look like a very small number. Just for playoff games in our state a $5 increase would cost the state $50k across all...

I agree. Plus if there is some kind of skirmish and 4 guys from one team are involved and 2 from the other, are we going to have 6 flags down because of the inequity?

I don't like it, but I assume we'll eventually have it. Then we'll review all personal fouls because they are 15-yard penalties. Then they'll want to look at all holding fouls. Then eventually...

I agree. I get frustrated when I see a bang-bang hit after a catch and the crew rules catch/fumble because the receiver had one foot touching the ground when he possessed the ball. It's a cheap...

It looked like he moved to quickly to the spot and didn't stay focused on the receiver long enough to clearly see him as he hit the ground. Take your time and see the entire play.

He's going to the ground as he's making the catch. Unless he regains control/balance it is not possible for him to make a move "common to the game". If he was able to get his feet under him and then...

But even the experienced D1 "up" official can't always tell if the ball went straight up or straight into the ground. It happens so fast. This took away the need to worry about that.

This is another reason Rogers gave for treating the immediate high bouncer and an airborne kick the same. It's not always easy to tell the difference since it happens so quickly.
