Blanket UNS
« on: August 29, 2018, 05:13:55 PM »
What has everyone heard on the blanket UNS? I have heard from two different sources: 1) If #40 got a UNS on him in the first half and in the second half there are blanket UNSs given out he is gone. 2) If #40 got one in the first half and then in the second half the team gets the blanket UNS, #40 is not gone unless you can ID that he was in the middle of the 'crap' and not over getting a drink, being seen by a trainer, etc...

Thoughts?

So what if the a player gets his first UNS in the 1st half due to blanket UNS and he wasn't involved in the "crap", but now gets a 2nd one in the 2nd half for something he did do? Is he DQ'd?

I’ve heard that a player is gone if he already had a UNS.

#1

That sounds like a "them" problem, not a "me" problem.  TS.  I'm not bailing players out.

If we're going to do #2, then you should just never use the blanket UNS, because that's really what you're doing.

What if #40 was getting a drink on the sideline for the blanket UNS, his first, then gets flagged for spiking the ball?  Why does the timing of his "personal" UNS matter?  Why does his actions during the blanket UNS matter?

My thinking is the blanket UNS is a warning to all players to get their act together.

#2 and bye bye

I thought that the whole rationale behind the blanket UNS was that more than enough of the offending team was part of the problem therefore the WHOLE TEAM gets hit with a UNS.  Realistically, is there someone (of us) logging who was, or was not, still on the sideline when we decided to go with a blanket UNS?

Good point. If it is that out of control we are just looking on the field and not into the team area.
