Late Game Injury

[sczeebra]

Everyone here knows the scenario. A is trailing late in game with no time outs left and one of their players fall to the ground with a stubbed toe with less than 2 seconds on the game clock. The ball would have never been made ready for play in the amount of time given. I understand we have no authority to rule on whether a kid is injured or not. What has been the stance in some of your states dealing with this? The god(small letters)  rule 1-1=6?

This scenario is the reason for the ZAP-10 rule in NCAA.  I would have my U hold the ball, tell A’s coach the game is over, wind the clock, & get the he!! outta Dodge.

Is ZAP an acronym for something?

10 second runoff.
It's funny because they had to make an exception to the rule for this scenario.  By rule if the clock is stopped for a first down, you can't have a 10 second runoff.  But they made an exception that if the GC is under 10 seconds then it is a runoff.

In reality there's nothing we can do since the NFHS doesn't give us a rule.  It's just "TS" for the defense.

Had a friend that coaches high school call me with a similar scenario.
End of 2nd quarter and Team A completes a pass to the B20 with 0:02.  The U gets hurt during the play which gives them time to run their field goal team out.
"TS", bud.  Sorry.

“Zapping” 10 seconds off the clock
