JV game. A72 comes from his sideline and tells me (R) he is “reporting.” ::) I asked, “As what?” He looks dumbfounded. I hear his coach, “He’s reporting as an eligible receiver.” Sorry, Coach. Nobody not wearing an eligible number can ever be eligible. Coach looks dumbfounded. A72 is now actually the QB. Coach says, “Can he run with the ball?” Yes, coach. He just can’t be an eligible receiver. ( Note: Yes, they still had 5 linemen, 50-79).
Where do these guys come from?
Maybe a better question is: What the heck are these guys being taught at coaching school? Apparently not much in the way of rules.

Middle school game this past week. After a score the visiting coach ask me which way are they kicking? Really coach?
Next night JV game. Opening KO, B catches the ball 2 yds deep in the EZ, decides to run and is tackled at the 15. Coach ask me, Isn't the ball dead when it crosses the plane of the goal line? My answer, yes coach in every state but Texas.
