Title: Delay of game vs UNS
Post by: BrendanP on November 18, 2017, 10:06:22 PM

When is it appropriate to assess DOG instead of UNS for player behavior? I was at an NAIA game (which I’m pretty sure uses NCAA rules) and on a kickoff, the returned busted off a nice little return. After he was tackled, he spun the ball like a top and the flag came out. They let him off easy with a DOG penalty instead of UNS. When is this appropriate?

Judgment call on what was observed (in that situation).

UNS if you're going to throw that.  DOG is if you throw the ball so the official has to chase it, which is a rare foul anyway.
