Dear Football Coaches & Officials,

September 25, 2007

ATTENTION ATHLETIC DIRECTORS & COACHES!!!! **Please make copies of this letter and distribute to ALL levels of your football coaching staff** TRIVIA QUESTION Name the two former NFL All-Pro players who are head coaches in Iowa high schools and tell where they are teaching. The answers to these questions are somewhere inside this letter....see if you can find them! COACHES We have completed three weeks of football and to date we have had nine players ejected and NO COACHES! Outstanding job coaches! The IHSAA is proud of you, your staff, your administration and your community for your display of good sportsmanship. The competition level will continue to escalate. Your challenge is to keep your level of sportsmanship rising, as the season progresses and escalates. QUIKSTATSIOWA.COM: We desire that every team use quikstatsiowa.com. If you do not have your login access, Bud Legg can help you. The program has the same information the Iowa Football Coaches Association needs for their Yearbook. Nearly 45% of the teams have entered their information. The program is easy to learn and Bud can help get you started. Call the IHSAA office (515-432-2011) and ask for Bud Legg, or email him your questions at [email protected]. FOOTBALL ARCHIVES: With our new website, it is easier to locate the football all-time best lists and record information. Coaches, as you review it, you may notice some of your athletes’ performances, past and present, missing. Just pass that information along to Bud and he will get it posted. OFFICIALS - CHAIN CREWS Officials, if you have an outstanding chain crew, please contact our office. We select chain crews for our championship games from the officials recommendations around the state. Our observers have said that thus far, the chain gangs they have seen are doing a good job of setting the chains, getting the clip on the chain and moving two yards back off the field. One item linesmen need to bring to the chain crew’s attention, get the back stake of the chain as close to the forward point of the ball and stretch the chain completely out. If we don’t stretch it out all the way and the player is using the end of the chain for a guideline pertaining to a first down, we are putting their team to a disadvantage if the chain is not stretched out all the way. COACHES & OFFICIALS Helmet Contact. Through rule changes, points of emphasis and educational materials the NFHS in the last five years has put forth its unequivocal belief that illegal helmet contact must be purged from the game. Coaches have been instructed to teach their players how to block and tackle without using any part of the head. Last weekend we all witnessed an incident in pro football concerning this very topic. Hopefully this young man will be able to walk again. COACH, make sure you take every precaution and teach proper technique so this doesn’t happen to one of your players. Officials have been advised to call related fouls without hesitation. (Rule Book sections 2-20, and 9-4-3i.) Note, would be great review for all involved. Even though the penalties for these acts remain unchanged, their definitions have been slightly altered. Butt blocking is a technique involving a blow initiated with the front of the helmet against a player who is not a ball carrier. Face tackling is a blow initiated with the front of the helmet against a player who is the ball carrier. Spearing is a blow initiated with the top of the helmet against an opponent. The penalty for each foul is 15 yards. Remember that as of last year, the official no longer has to determine that a player who speared an opponent did so intentionally. Spearing is spearing. -1-

Fumble vs Muff. A fumble is the loss of player possession and is characterized by an act other than passing, kicking or successful handing of the ball. In order to fumble, a player must first have possession of the ball. Covering official(s) should drop beanbag on the yard line where the fumble takes place and continue to officiate. Don’t throw the beanbag into a pile (1) you may injure someone; (2) you will not get an accurate spot. A muff is an unsuccessful attempt to get possession (catch or recover) of the ball and is always preceded by a touch. Muffs are not bagged. When a fumble occurs, any player of either team can recover or catch the ball and advance it regardless of whether the fumble occurs beyond or behind the line. However, the ball is dead if B recovers a fumble on a try or during any overtime. When the ball is fumbled in the field of play and goes out-of-bounds, the ball belongs to the fumbling team at the out-of-bounds spot. Exception - if the fumble occurs on fourth down and the offensive team fails to reach the line to gain. If A1’s fumble (going into score) is recovered by Team B in B’s own endzone, or goes out-of-bounds in Team B’s endzone, it is a touchback. A muff may occur after a fumble as several players vie for the ball. Muffs most frequently occur during kicks and present a challenge to officials. Muffed scrimmage kicks may be recovered but not advanced by the kicking team beyond the neutral zone, not because the ball was muffed, but because the status of the ball remains a kick. Muffed free kicks by R may be recovered by the kicking team but cannot be advanced by any K player. Any K player may recover a free kick if it has both touched the ground and goes beyond the plane of R’s free kick line. The two requirements may occur in any order. COACHES, every Thursday take at least 5 minutes out of your practice time to talk to your players about Good Sportsmanship and Playing Within the Rules. Talk about playing Heads-up Football and the Proper Use of the Helmet. Remind them about being a Good Citizen. All of these things go hand-in-hand in being a well respected student athlete. The time and effort you put in building good character of young people is more likely to help them overcome difficulties in life, and be responsible citizens. Talk about the importance of sportsmanship and what the expectations are for your players and staff. Here are several practical suggestions for you to use to help promote good sportsmanship. ♦

Use “teachable moments”. Naturally occurring situations can enhance the athlete’s reasoning about sport-related events.



Take time to discuss and resolve conflicts through team discussion. You can serve a powerful role to help shape future reactions to conflict.



Establish a Code of Ethics. Your code should include behaviors that are acceptable as well as unacceptable and should be arrived at by both your coaching staff and athletes.



Set up a system of positive reinforcement. Rewarding positive behavior and penalizing inappropriate behavior reinforces the idea that performance goals apply to more than sport skills.



Model appropriate behavior. You need to lead by example, consciously modeling the team’s code of ethics in all competitions and practices.

REFEREES, involve your crew in the pre-games as well as game administration whenever possible. Something you might try with your crew is to assign different aspects of the game to individual members of your crew. For example, have the Back Judge be responsible for timing situations, penalties at the end of the quarter, and if the fouls were live ball or dead ball fouls, and if we extend the quarter or not. Have the Linesman be responsible for all overtime situations. Have someone else be responsible for the kicking game. You can come up with many different situations. This way you will have someone to go to when you are in doubt about a situation. -2-

OFFICIALS - RULES MEETING ATTENDANCE 1. Rules Meeting Attendance. A list of those officials who indicated “OFFICIAL” on their Rules Meeting Attendance Form are included with this letter. The names are listed in alphabetical order. If you attended one of our state-sponsored rules meetings and your name does not appear, notify our office IMMEDIATELY (within 7 days) at (515) 432-2011, and ask for Laura. She will check the attendance sheets to verify your attendance. Again, please call our office within 7 days after receiving this letter! We have a verification procedure to get the error corrected. Each year we have officials who have attended a rules meeting who did not properly mark their attendance forms or have incorrectly recorded the information on the sheet, which could cause for an error to occur. Meeting attendance is a requirement to officiate in the football playoffs! So make sure you check this list to see that your name appears if you did attend a 2007 football rules meeting.

***OFFICIALS!!!!*** INFORMATION ABOUT ONLINE SPORTSMANSHIP RATINGS IF YOU HAVE MISPLACED YOUR RATINGS INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE MAKE A BONA FIDE EFFORT TO LOCATE THEM BEFORE CALLING OUR OFFICE!! We have received an over abundance of telephone calls asking for password information. The online rating system was requested by officials, and for this system to be successful it is your responsibility to read correspondence sent to you from our office. Please file this information so it is easily accessible to you! The IHSAA will not give out the username and password over the telephone. Keep your instruction sheet near your computer so you are prepared when you go to enter your ratings online. If your rating sheet is by your home computer but you submit ratings from your work computer, please make a copy of the instruction sheet and keep it at both. After submitting your ratings, you will receive either a “THANK YOU” screen, indicating that your entry has been confirmed, or an “ERROR” screen, telling you that you need to hit your “BACK” button and re-enter your rating information because your ratings did not go through. The final deadline for your ratings to be submitted is November 26, 2007 at 5:00 p.m. You should be entering them on a weekly basis, so the IHSAA can track how schools are doing throughout the season. You can go online and check to see if your ratings have been submitted on the IHSAA web site. Go to www.iahsaa.org, and click on “OFFICIALS” on the home page. Then underneath where you submit your football ratings, click on the link that says, “List of Submitted Sportsmanship Ratings.” Please check the website for the most updated rating list. COACHES & OFFICIALS Lightning. Whenever we have lightning, we ask that all schools involved to please use your lightning detectors to help officials in monitoring the lightning. If you don’t have a lightning detector, please get on a computer and use the radar and any available radio or tv personnel in the area. Administrators, please assist officials when dealing with this life threatening issue. Officials always rule on the side of safety. Get the coaches and administrators together from both schools and make solid choices, even if it means coming back the next day or the following Monday. Any schools desiring to purchase lightning detectors may do so by contacting Elisa Kahler in the IHSAA office at 515-432-2011 or email at: [email protected] Wristbands. If worn, they must be worn no more than 3” below the base of the thumb toward the elbow. Coach, play wristbands are legal. We have had a few calls pertaining to pull-arm forearm sleeves (mainly receivers or ball carriers). These are considered to be adornments and should not be allowed. Regular forearm pads, rubber sleeves and elbow covering to protect elbows, tape, bandage or support wrap on the hand or forearm to protect an existing injury are legal. Rubberized elbow sleeves or pads to protect elbows on turf fields are legal - WHEN PLAYING ON ARTIFICIAL TURF. Tape shall not exceed three thicknesses. -3-

Unconscious Player. Guidelines when dealing with an unconscious player. Officials, if you or a medical person determine a player is unconscious, you need to inform the coach that the player must provide written authorization from one of the following authorized personnel before returning to the contest: (1) Medical Doctor; (2) Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine; (3) Doctor of Chiropractic; (4) Physician’s Assistant; (5) Advanced Register Nurse Practitioner. We emphasize that you use extreme caution when dealing with an unconscious player. Substitution Rule. During the period between downs, any number of substitutions from either team may enter and replace players, provided the substitution is completed by having the replaced players leave the field IMMEDIATELY. No substitute may enter during a down. During the same dead ball interval, no substitute may become a player and then withdraw and no player may withdraw and then re-enter as a substitute unless during the interval, a penalty is accepted, a dead ball foul occurs, there is a charged time-out or the period ends. Replaced players and substitutes are required to leave the field on the same side of the field on which their team box is located. Blood Rule. In between downs if a player is discovered to have blood on his uniform or person, we are to stop the game and have that player removed until such time they can stop the bleeding and bandage the player up (at least one play). Remember we must give the affected team time to get a replacement on the field and situated. If an umpire notices the blood on a defensive player just as the offense comes to the line of scrimmage, blow the whistle, and give the replacement player time to get the defensive call and get to his position. You are probably better off to send the offensive team back to huddle up if they want, but don’t short change the replacement player or defensive team. Late Hits. Football is a contact sport, but officials and coaches must ensure that the contact is legal. Not only do late hits and other illegal contact lead to injuries, but they often contribute to a loss of game control. Football Fundamental 111-1 states that an official’s whistle seldom kills the ball; it is already dead. Officials, the solution to this problem is to blow the whistle in a timely manner. Once forward progress is stopped, blow the whistle immediately. Players relax when forward progress is stopped and additional contact at that time can cause unnecessary injury. Late hits also occur near the sideline. It is the responsibility of the player initiating the contact to know if the opponent is in-bounds or out-of-bounds. Again, once players are out of bounds, they relax. Players are very susceptible to injury at that time. Officials must be diligent in their responsibilities to penalize such illegal acts. Being in the proper position will help the official make the correct call. If late hits are not called, they will only increase as the game progresses. Line Judge. With our new interpretation on post scrimmage kicks, when a team is in scrimmage kick formation (player at least 7 yards deep and no one under the center to take a hand-to-hand snap) post scrimmage kick enforcement goes into effect when the ball is snapped. That is when the window opens and closes for post scrimmage kick enforcement when the kick ends. With that in mind, I see no reason why the Line Judge cannot release with the snap and let the Linesman and the Umpire rule on the status of the ball. Free Blocking Zone When QB is in Shotgun Formation. One must understand that when the QB is in shotgun formation, the ball is going to leave the zone in most situations in a very short period of time. With that in mind, coaches need to inform their players that if they are going to block below the waist in the free blocking zone, it must be done immediately. This means immediately following the initial snap! If the linemen rise up and then go back down and block below the waist, clip or block in the back, it would be considered an illegal block, because the ball has already left the zone. Officials, you need to pay particular attention to this so we aren’t allowing illegal blocks in the free blocking zone. Please review this rule in your Local Officials Association meetings and crew meetings. This will make for some good pre-game discussion. (2-17 (1-5)), page 31 of the Rule Book. -4-

Interceptions of Passes in the End Zone. We have had several calls pertaining to interceptions of passes in the end zone and the right to run the ball back out of the end zone. Page 61 in the Rule Book relates to this (any intercepted pass remains live) regardless if in the end zone or the field of play. So if the defensive team intercepts the ball in the end zone, they have the right to run it out or down it. If the defensive player would be tackled in the end zone while trying to run it out of the end zone, it would still be a touchback. COACHES & ATHLETIC DIRECTORS 2-Yard Coaches Area. Let’s work together to make an effort to clean this area up. This should be occupied by up to three coaches from 25 to 25. All other personnel (including photographers & media personnel) should be no closer than two yards to the sidelines. Athletic Directors and Coaches, please visit with your stat, media, ball boys and any other personnel regarding this issue. Coaches are the officials responsibility; all other personnel are the responsibility of game management.

CLARIFICATION OF FOOTBALL CASTING/SPLINT RULE Due to some changes in the privacy protection law regarding casts/splints, the following items only need to appear on the written prescription from a licensed medical professional: 1. First and last name of the athlete for whom the cast has been prescribed. 2. The location of the cast. 3. The date the cast was prescribed. 4. The licensed medical professional’s signature.

The game ending procedure when time runs out during the down or on a fourth down play in overtime when a team fails to score: The covering official shall give the timeout mechanic and spot the ball. The referee shall check for any penalties, make sure no timing errors have occurred, no request for a coach referee conference and no other irregularity has occurred. The referee will then hold the ball up with one hand above his/her head indicating the game is over. When the chain is set and the clip is attached, move the chain two yards back off the field. It will give you more room to work and if you do have a play on or near the sidelines, there is less chance of the official, player or chain gang member to be injured. The Referee needs to be on the quarterback’s throwing arm side on every down, regardless of field position. Wings use your foot (back side of ball) to help wide-outs, but don’t tell them they need to move up or back, because if the ball is snapped while they are moving, a coach wants to know why you were talking to them. Also, square up your feet before the snap. When forward progress is over, there should be a whistle immediately. Nothing good will happen after this, defense will try and steal the ball, and extra curricular activities will take place as well as a frustrated runner. Extra Point Situations: when a team comes out in the swinging gate formation, the official on the same side as the Referee needs to hold his position until the team shifts back to the ball, then release to the goal post with the Back Judge. Officials need to continue to work on observing action after the play is over, especially on scrimmage kicks and free kicks. Everyone is a big hurry to go to their positions for the next play and there are times when two or three players could be left by themselves and an extra curricular activity could take place. That gets coaches and fans excited.

Measurements - The ball needs to be spotted whenever it is close and the Linesman should not look over their shoulder to look at the stakes to see if it is close. Know the down and distance and let the Line Judge stop the clock if it is close. Key, always spot the ball in or outside the boundary lines, but never spot the ball until after the measurement or your positive if it is short, or it is a first down. Always measure if it is close. Do not leave anyone in the stadium in doubt. BJ, if the ball is outside the inbounds lines, retrieve another ball for the referee to spot between the inbounds line. Once the ball is spotted, pick up the original ball and toss it to a ball boy or girl.

OFFICIALS MECHANICS -- 35-POINT RULE Make sure the Clock Operator understands your crew will do their normal mechanics anytime the 35-point rule is in effect. However, they are to only stop the clock under the prescribed times we have indicated. Clock Operators have all been sent instructions pertaining to when the clock should be stopped when the 35-point rule is in effect. The answer to the trivia question is (1) Dan Dickel, Highland; and (2) Marv Cook, Regina of Iowa City. REFEREE: The signal as to when the 35-point rule is in effect (when and if it ever reaches this point) is a closed hand with the index finger pointed up above the head (same as untimed down signal) and making a circular motion. This will help remind the Clock Operator the 35-point rule is now in effect. I would recommend that when it goes back under 35 points and normal clock operations are back in effect is to have your Back Judge or Linesman notify the home team sidelines to notify the Clock Operator that the normal clock operations are back in place.

CLOSING Coaches and Officials, remember it is important to focus your energy into the game and not on the negative comments or trying desperately to prove anything to anyone. Whether it is a personal attack, unfair criticism or just harassment, the key to keeping cool and performing well is to maintain your focus where it should be - on the game. The final football letter of the season will be posted on the IHSAA web site by Tuesday, October 16. Football letters are located under the “OFFICIALS” section on our home page at www.iahsaa.org. Scroll down to “Specific Sports Information”, “Football”, and click on the link underneath “Coaches and Officials Letters.” I hope you are having an enjoyable football season. Please check our web site for updated information. Sincerely,

A CLEAN SIDELINE IS A SAFE SIDELINE Officiating football is a difficult avocation, to be sure. How much more so when officials make themselves their own worst enemies? While rules and related mechanics for sideline management have been in place, with a number of variations for many years, officials often are reticent to enforce Box and restraining line restrictions. Whether the reason for the lack of enforcement related to fear of detracting from other aspects of the game, a reluctance to get involved with any activities on the sideline or just neglect, it is clear that sideline management must be taken seriously. Officials need to look no farther than the NFHS Points of Emphasis to see that the football rules committee is serious about sideline management. These officials who pay attention to such things know well that lax or incorrect rules enforcement and mechanics are often cited as the inspiration for points of emphasis. Citing evidence of a growing perception that the sidelines are becoming more out of control and congested, the rules committee has found that squad member, coaches, spectators, media personnel and others are encroaching beyond the Box and sometimes onto the playing field itself. The rules committee cogently describes the state of sideline management as, “...a safety concern and logistical problem for officials who must have free access to the sidelines to do an effective job.” Rulemakers caution that “laxity in enforcement” and “looking the other way,” are unacceptable responses to sideline management. Shouldn’t officials be more concerned with the clips, the holding calls, the crack backs and so on, than with the people on the sidelines? Maybe. But at the end of the day, if you cannot keep a clear sideline, you cannot maintain for yourself the room you need to observe play. You will not be able to safeguard the players’ well-being (your first responsibility as an official) nor make accurate calls on plays near the sideline. Further, when you are blocked from seeing an out-of-bounds call or have a confrontation involving non-players who venture onto restricted real estate, it’s a sure thing that at least one team will blame you for messing up their football game. Officials who fail to recognize the importance of sideline management either have not been around long enough to experience a debacle occurring out of bounds or are simply deluding themselves into shirking several of their most important responsibilities. Officiating football is by nature a complex, multifaceted and demanding task. By failing to exercise proper sideline management, we only make the task more difficult and unwieldy. The rule is simple: All team personnel, other than three coaches, must remain in the Box area, which begins two yards from each sideline, between each 25-yard line. We know that the belt between the Box and the sideline-from one 25-yard line to the other is known as the coaching box area. Only three coaches are allowed there. Officials should take note that the restraining line is two yards behind each sideline. Two yards, for the uninitiated, is six feet; it is not one step off the sideline. The first instance of straying outside the designated area results in a sideline warning. The next infraction results in a five-yard penalty, with 15-yard penalties for each subsequent foul (9-8-1,9-8-3). Sideline management sometimes includes dealing with the presence of photographers, video camera operators, sound technicians, statisticians and boosters. Those people must not be permitted to mill around the sideline area, no matter how close to the action they desire to be. Those are the first people who will blame you for a perceived wrong call or injury occurring on the sideline area. If game administration does not place the recommended fourinch restraining line around the outside of the field-at least two yards from the sidelines-officials must use their own judgment to have persons not directly connected with the teams placed where they will not interfere with the game, the officials or the players. It is indefensible for officials to permit cameramen, team supporters or other onlookers between the Box and the playing field. NFHS/Referee Football Guide 2006

AVOIDING INADVERTENT WHISTLES A premature whistle is the bane of football officiating. Officials rarely go to a retirement dinner without hearing a story about an inadvertent whistle that was blown 20 years ago. There are no official statistics available as to the causes of inadvertent whistles, but I would submit the number-one reason is not seeing the ball or not knowing where it is. If you can discipline yourself to never, ever blow your whistle unless you can see the ball (hopefully in possession of a player who is down by rule), you can greatly diminish the likelihood attendees at your farewell dinner will be entertained at your expense. If the entire crew follows that philosophy, you most likely will have two or three plays per game on which no one blows a whistle. There is nothing wrong with that! Just like most rules, there is an exception to the above. If a player’s forward progress has been stopped, you can whistle to signify the down has ended and not worry about where the ball is. Stripping the ball from a player who is in the grasp of two opponents and is being driven backward is not a change of possession. A distant number-two reason for premature toots is lack of knowledge of a rule. Here is a play that occurred in a game from a previous season. As the runner approached the goal line, his arm was struck

and the ball bounded into the end zone, where it was recovered by a defender. The back judge, believing the ball was dead when it broke the plane of the goal line, whistled it dead. Here’s another botched play: The kickoff was a line drive to the 10-yard line and got past the deepest receiver. The ball landed on the 1-foot line and the referee, properly positioned on the goal line, anticipated a touchback. Instead the ball bounced straight up and reversed direction without ever breaking the plan of the goal line. So far, so good-no touchback, no whistle. The semi-frantic receiver over ran the ball without touching it, reversed direction and, while in the end zone, scooped up the stationary ball. Player in end zone, ball in field of play-no touchback, no whistle. Time to start the clock. As the runner approached the 5-yard line, the referee wound the clock and finding his whistle inexplicably in this mouth, he blew it as if signaling the ready-for-play. The saving grace to the play was it occurred in the last 3 minutes to a team down, 586. The players were happy to get the replay and the opponents didn’t seem to mind. Chances are, you won’t be that lucky! See the ball and know dead-ball rules. Those concepts will keep you out to of trouble. Source: NFHS Referee Football Guide 2006

ILLEGAL MOTION VS. FALSE START Here are a couple of plays that illustrate the difference between illegal motion and false start. A few seconds after the offense was set, flanker A1 slowly stood up from his stance, turned to his left and went into motion away from the line judge. Just before the snap, the flanker cut sharply to his right toward the line of scrimmage. What’s the call? In the game during which that play actually occurred, the vigilant line judge immediately blew his whistle and threw his flag. His explanation: false start. By the rule, the line judge had an inadvertent whistle. The rules allow the offense to have one player in motion at the time the ball is snapped. That player must be moving parallel to or toward his own goal line at the moment the ball is snapped. Illegal motion is a live-ball foul that carries a 5-yard penalty from the previous spot. The manner in which that player begins his motion is important. It is the responsibility of an offensive player who moves before the snap to do so in a manner that does not simulate the beginning of a play. In other words, a player who is permitted to move under the rules still may commit a false start.

However, once legal motion begins, it cannot become a false start. It can, as it did in that play, become illegal motion. In contrast, here is a play in which a false start should have been called. Just before the snap, both the tailback and fullback beat the snap. Realizing their error, they figured the play will be aborted. Instead, the ball is snapped to the quarterback and there is no one there for the handoff. The quarterback is hit, fumbles and the fumble is returned by the defense for a score. The play was flagged for illegal motion and allowed to stand when the penalty was obviously declined. While it is true the backs could have reset and avoided the foul, beating the snap is almost always an abrupt move that simulates the start of the play and is thus a false start. The overriding philosophy is to rule a false start and kill the play whenever possible. That would have saved that undeserved touchdown. Stopping the play also facilitates conduct of the game. Any significant gain by the offense would be undone by the foul and create disappointment. Source: NFHS Referee Football Guide 2006

FOOTBALL CASEBOOK PLAYS 8.2.2 References plays when there is a foul by the opponent of the team scoring a touchdown, an enforcement option has been added. The offended team can accept the result of the play; choose to have the penalty enforced on the try; or choose to have the penalty enforcement on the free kick. ~~~ 8.2.2 Situation: During (a) A9’s run for a touchdown, or (b) K1’s field goal, B2 holds A1. Ruling: In (a) A will likely keep the score and may choose to enforce the foul on the try or enforce the foul on the ensuing kickoff. In (b) K may keep the points and have the penalty enforced from the succeeding spot, or have the penalty enforced from the previous spot and replay the down. A1 scores on the last timed down of the first half and B1 is called for defensive holding. Ruling: Team A has these choices - (1) decline the penalty and take the touchdown; (2) accept the penalty and have the ball on Team B’s 1 1/2 yard line for the extra point attempt; or (3) take the penalty and decline the distance and attempt the extra point from the 3-yard line. Remember when a live ball foul on the defense occurs during the last timed down of the first or second half and results in a touchdown after a change of possession or if no change in possession, the penalty may only be accepted on the PAT. This also holds true on fouls that occur in overtime. First overtime, Team A on offense first and scores on third down with a live ball foul on the defense. Ruling: Team A may accept the penalty on the extra point try. This would also hold true on any live ball foul that would occur against Team A when Team B is on offense following Team A’s possession in overtime. You can never carry live ball fouls over to the overtime or additional overtimes, except for unsportsmanlike, dead ball, and non-player fouls (these fouls are penalized from the succeeding spot.) ~~~ 2.17.2 Situation C. Back A9 is lined up behind quarterback A8 within the free blocking zone. As A8 drops back to pass, A9 blocks B7, who was in the free blocking zone at the snap, below the waist. Ruling: Illegal block by A9. An offensive player must be on the line of scrimmage and in the free blocking zone at the snap in order to block a defensive player below the waist who was also on the line of scrimmage and in the free blocking zone at the snap. (9-3-2) ~~~ 6.1.5 Situation A. A kickoff by K1 from K’s 40 is muffed by R1 near his 20-yard line. The muff is caught by K2 at the 18 and he advances into R’s endzone. Ruling: It will be K’s ball first and 10 from R’s 18. K2 may catch or recover the muffed kick, but may not advance. The ball is dead when K gains possession. The covering official should sound his whistle to stop play immediately when the ball becomes dead. ~~~

7.2.5 Situation A. Team a comes to its line of scrimmage with: (a) ends 80 and 71, tackles 70 and 81, guards 60 and 61, and center 50; or (b) ends 80 and 81, guards 72 and 75, tackles 62 and 63 and center 50 and one halfback numbered 76. Ruling: The formations in both (a) and (b) are legal because there are at least five players numbered 50-79 on the offensive line. In (a), a player at tackle wearing 81 and the end wearing 71 are both ineligible receivers; 81 because of his position and 71 because of his number. In (b), number 76, a halfback, is not an eligible receiver because of the number he is wearing. (7-5-6a) ~~~ 8.5.3 Situation B. K1 kicks off to start the second half. The ball is rolling on R’s 7-yard line when R1: (a) accidentally, or (b) intentionally kicks the ball into his own endzone where R2 recovers. Is the kick by R1 in either (a) or (b) a new force? If the action is a foul, where is it penalized from? Ruling: It is not a new force in either (a) or (b), as force is not a consideration on kicks going into R’s endzone. Even though the ball was kicked by R1, the kick had not ended. The contact in (a) is ignored, because it was not an intentional act. In (b), the kick is illegal, and if the penalty is accepted, it is enforced from the previous spot. In both (a) and (b), the ball becomes dead when the kick breaks the plane of R’s goal line. (2-13-4; 9-7-1; 10-6) ~~~ 9.2.3 Situation A. End A1 sprints from the line and then cuts sharply toward the middle of the field. A1 makes no attempt to block defensive back B1. B1 pursues A1 and pushes him from the side using his open hands. Contact is made on A1’s upper arm before the pass is thrown. A1 was moving away from B1 when the contact occurred. Ruling: Illegal use of hands by B1. A defender may legally contact an eligible receiver beyond the neutral zone before the pass is in flight. The contact may be a block or warding off the opponent who is attempting to block by pushing or pulling him. However, if the receiver is not attempting to block or has gone past or is moving away, it is illegal for the defender to use hands in the manner described. In this situation, it is clear that A1 is no longer a potential blocker on B1. (2-3-5a; 7-5-7) ~~~ 10.5.5 Situation A. B1 intercepts a pass in his own endzone and is tackled there after attempting to advance. During B1’s run, B2 clips A1 at B2’s 4-yard line. Ruling: The basic spot is the 20-yard line. If the penalty is accepted, it will be enforced from the spot of the foul, B’s ball first and 10 from B’s 2-yard line. If the penalty is declined, it is B’s ball first and 10 from B’s 20-yard line. ~~~
