WEEK #3 FOOTBALL POINTS OF CONSIDERATION

REMINDER:
Schools need to update scores on the KSHSAA database after each game. I recommend the home team do this. At least 20% have not been updated from this past week’s games.

ENFORCEMENT:
With 1st and 10 from the A10 yard line, the QB is under heavy pressure and 7-yards deep in the endzone. The QB throws the ball toward RB A25 at the 3-yard line, but A25 does not touch the ball. Instead the ball touches the hands of lineman A55 who is facing the QB at the A6 yard line, and the pass fall incomplete. What is the ruling? (7-5-13) (The table says the penalty is enforced from the basic spot. Since illegal touching is not listed in the basic sport exception, the foul is enforced from the previous spot.)

SITUATION:
What is the ruling for an inadvertent whistle? (4-2-3) (Case Book)
Reminder: A penalty shall be administered as determined by the basic spot and takes precedence over an inadvertent whistle administration if, during a down, a live-ball foul occurs prior to the inadvertent whistle and the penalty is accepted. (4-3d)

ENFORCEMENT:
What constitutes an illegal block below the waist? When and where can you block below the waist? What is the penalty enforcement? The block must be made immediately at the snap.
Continuing by rolling to block opponents is not legal. (9-3-2) (Penalty Summary)

ENFORCEMENT:
How do you handle players that are not legally equipped? What do you do if they are not wearing knee pads? What if they pants are not covering the knees? (Send them out of the game until they can become legal. The rule is in the book to minimize risk to the athletes on both teams.

SPORTSMANSHIP IS VITAL IN INTERSCHOLASTIC EDUCATION-BASED ACTIVITIES

Have a Great Week #3
