Last Friday night - 3rd and 20-something to go. Runner tackled at the LOS and gets hit late, too.

^flag

Coach: What's the flag?
Me: Personal foul. Late hit on their #78. We'll tack 15 on from the end of the run and you'll get to replay 3rd down.
Coach: Isn't that an automatic 1st down?
Me: No sir.
Coach: Why not?
Me: The rule doesn't include an automatic first down for a late hit.
Coach: Well, it should! Will you make that suggestion for next year?

Both of us: LOL

I wish I had thought of that and posted it about an hour before you did.

Oh wait, I did. :D

I must have missed the forum rule where once mbyron posts, no further comments will be allowed.  nAnA

Further comments are fine: it's the same comment over and over that's objectionable.

New and pertinent! I'm sure it's in the forum rules somewhere... nAnA

Middle school ball, last game of the season, about 3 weeks ago.

Home team receiver peels back and even hesitates to make a beautiful block on B's side at the shoulder, springing the runner for a long gain down my sideline.  Visiting staff goes ape poop, thinking I've missed a BIB.

"How can that not be a block in the back?"
"Because it was at the side, Coach."
"No it wasn't"
"Coach, I watched the entire block, it was beautiful"
"If the angle of attack begins from behind, it HAS to be a block in the back!"


Later- visitor's receiver goes across the middle for a catch, home LB gets his hands all up around the helmet but doesn't grasp the mask or an opening during the tackle.

"How could you not call that facemask?"
"Because there wasn't one."
"His hand went inside the mask."
"He didn't grab it, Coach"
"Anytime the hand goes across the mask, its at LEAST a 5 yard penalty!"

Texas high school game in late October:  During the return of a free kick, two of the B players block an A player about 10 yards out of bounds.  I throw my flag.  As I am reporting the flag to the R, the Team B coaches are yelling, "That block can't be illegal, they were out of bounds!".

Early in the 1st Quarter of a late season game, I'm HL on red sideline. Red QB throws a screen pass that is caught by the receiver and proceeds to run towards and down my sideline. I take off in pursuit but I have to run well onto the field to avoid players and coaches who have stepped up to the sideline whilst screaming encouragement.
As I run past I drop my flag and after the play I go to the R and tell him the story. R announced the penalty and as I resume the sideline the coach says "Don't we get a warning ?"

For every coach that thinks we got it wrong there's another that thinks we got it right.

Heard a basketball official answer that question to a girl's head coach one night after he rung up her assistant: "Yep... he does it again and he's gone."

"Too many players on the line" from an undefeated team playing another undefeated team AND they had a referee on the coaching staff.  There were other eroneous requests which I think came from the "ref" on the coaching staff.

First scrimmage of the year a couple of weeks ago.   Home team scores and we go to put the ball down for try.   The mark is on the 4 yard line.   After the play, I ask the head coach why and he says that one of his assistants told him the rule had been changed a couple of years ago and they were supposed to be doing the try from the four so he moved it.

Since 2011 has passed, we'll put this one to bed and start over.
