WEEK #6 FOOTBALL POINTS OF CONSIDERATION

OFFICIALS:
Postseason applications are due. Each official from a crew must have an application completed for consideration.

SCHOOLS:
Recently it has been brought to my attention of a new fad amongst football players, where in celebration, players will lift their shirt to simulate as if they are brandishing a weapon in their waistband. After research it appears this is a trend that has been passed down through social media. This has been witnessed in at least two leagues, but I am certain it has been seen in other games, or will be very soon. We believe that all of you feel the same way as I do that this has no place in high school athletics. Officials will be asked to penalize this as Unsporting Conduct. Coaches, please put an end to this before it happens.

SITUATION:
The passer throws an incomplete pass on third down. During the play, holding was called on the offense. The defensive team accepts the penalty. When does the clock start after enforcement? 3-4-3e (On the snap)

REMINDER:
A pop-up kick is illegal. Driving the ball straight into the ground is your first indicator. 6-1-11

ENFORCEMENT:
Don’t forget to refresh your knowledge of enforcement of penalties. (Penalty Summary on pages, 94-95)

REMINDER:
SCHOOLS, PLEASE REMEMBER TO ADD YOUR SCHEDULES AND REPORT YOUR SCORES ON THE KSHSAA WEBSITE.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OFFICIALS AND TEAMS
