Hoosier Hills Conference
Impartial_Observer replied to starbacker's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Dude seriously, you’re making remarks in a public forum bring into question the integrity of a crew of officials as well as a long time HC in the state of Indiana. It’s low rent in the least and libel at the worst? What’s more if you’re going to make such statements and defame people in a public forum, I suggest you put your name on it and offer up some evidence. Brian Personett -

35-16, 19 point difference, those officials must be really good. I hope you don’t get the same crew at Jeff. -

You might want to check out the fall bulletin. -
We had an odd situation Friday night. A is behind by a large margin 1/10 on their own 5, with 50ish seconds to go in the half. A’s coach makes it known they are taking a knee. A lines up in victory (?) formation, DL doesn’t even get in a stance, A snaps, QB immediately goes down to a knee. B’s coach calls TO. He claims he didn’t know they were taking a knee and is upset no one told him. Personally I thought it was pretty obvious to everyone in the stadium they were taking a knee. A’s coach is even more upset that we didn’t let A’s coach know. Even bringing it up in a post game email exchange. Our philosophy has ALWAYS been and we’ve been told in training not to alert anyone as to A taking a knee. We don’t adjust our mechanics, other than the U paying particular attention to the snapper. Thoughts from coaches and officials?

Wilson Footballs and Wilson Prep Kit
Impartial_Observer replied to Punttheball's question in Officiating Forum
One observation and one question: 1) Wilson GST balls suck, prove me wrong. When they’re dry they’re slick and when they get wet, often times just sweat from ball carriers, they’re slimy. 2) Is the GID where coaches and officials are now getting interpretations? -
No good story, I think my wing had just heard enough from the assistant.
-
Oddly enough, neither coach questioned the down and distance after we marked it off. And to be perfectly honest, I couldn’t understand why an assistant coach would be assessed a USC after getting a DPI and a first down.
-
C’mon man! We had this happen Friday night, unusual scenario, I thought I’d throw it out for all the aspiring officials here.
-
A ball 3/8 at their 22. Incomplete pass, and DPI in B. 15 yard mark off and the LTG has been reached. Penalty is marked off, chains reset, and prior to the RFP, a 15 yard USC on A’s coach. Down and distance for the next play please?

Unnecessary Roughness? Disqualification? No foul?
Impartial_Observer replied to Bobref's question in Officiating Forum
Exactly. There is a point system involved and the young man taking the sportsmanship class online is one of the ways you can regain points. -
Unnecessary Roughness? Disqualification? No foul?
Impartial_Observer replied to Bobref's question in Officiating Forum
Ejection is pretty obvious, losing the remaining game time plus the next one is a pretty stiff penalty. Also not necessarily known by most fans, schools lose sportsmanship points which can come with differing penalties from the IHSAA, depending on the amount of penalty points lost. A player being ejected once could have ramifications from the team or school as well. Back in the day, a second ejection could include a trip to Indy for the athlete, coach, AD, and or principal. I’ve just always felt these are very serious fouls and should not be handed out without some consideration. -

Hey, another new floor this year! Should be about done, they were about done installing it a few weeks back when we were there. I would guess it’s finished by now. -

It’s a shame NA is in their sectional. -
Is roughing the punter an automatic first down?
Impartial_Observer replied to gc75's question in Officiating Forum
Roughing the snapper/kicker/holder/passer is 15 yards and automatic 1st down. Running into the kicker is 5 yards and replay the down, unless the LTG has been reached. -

Impartial_Observer replied to Bobref's question in Officiating Forum
Agreed, WE have ALWAYS taken USC on coaches and ejections very serious. I tend to agree with @Yuccaguytone and tenor of the game plays into this particular decision. Just curious others’ take on just the tape we’ve seen. -

Referees trapped after game
Impartial_Observer replied to Offintheyard's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I agree, but look at Lee County FL last year. To be honest I’m not sure how it turned out ultimately. I agree 100% if officials were to act, it’s the kids who ultimately suffer, and at the end of the day, that’s why we’re ALL here. I will also say I’m a lot more selective choosing assignments. -

And officials aren’t smart enough to realize all this. -
Hoosier Hills Conference
Impartial_Observer replied to starbacker's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Back in the day Seymour’s rivalries were JC and Columbus (North). Obviously Seymour didn’t play Brownstown for many years. East traditionally was never much of a rivalry, as they were non-conference. I can remember some of this battles, it was heated. -

And the sun will still come up tomorrow. The success or lack thereof of high school children playing a game neither upsets me or excites me. If course I don’t have a monetary stake in it either.
