Substitutions 3-5-2-d
« on: Yesterday at 03:14:35 PM »
d. Substitutes who become players (Rule 2-27-9) must remain in the game for
at least one play and replaced players must remain out of the game for at least
one play, except during the interval between periods, after a score, or when a
timeout is charged to a team or to the referee with the exception of a live-ball
out of bounds or an incomplete forward pass (A.R. 3-5-2-III and VII).


I'll admit I haven't been in the habit of watching for this one.  How often do you see it?  I'd expect it's more common in JH and JV, where the guys are figuring where they're supposed to be and when.  Are you enforcing this at all levels of play?

I'll also admit to not always thinking about this, but as for your question, usually for lower levels no, and for Varsity, it depends - are they trying to be deceptive, or just being kids who don't know who is on the kickoff team? Would be a stretch for me to flag this unless I really thought they were trying to be purposefully confusing.
