May 14th, 2012

Preventive officiating is a tough concept for rookie refs to understand, especially if they've never played the game. No one, particularly a coach, likes to see the yellow laundry on the field. Get signed in for some conversation about dealing with those guys.

"Invincible" - a
By Darin Hayes

Attention all football officials who are also couch potatoes:

Today's film is from Disney. It's Invincible, and we have plays from the film waiting patiently for your ruling – according to NFHS statutes, naturally.

Don't misjudge Disney: They did one of the best sports movies of all time, Remember the Titans, which we'll get to in due time.

Even if you don't have the film, make some popcorn and log in to Officiating. com.

Last time, I told you that the wing guys should concentrate on the receiver and defender. Then I mentioned keeping your "head on a swivel." Despite the apparent contradiction, there is a need for both.

This installment also asks the question: "To flag or not to flag?" No, Jeff and Ray: I'm not quoting Shakespeare. It's just a way to call attention to a preventive officiating insight.

Of course, to see what I'm talking about you'll have to log in.

Some Hollywood Interpretations — Part XXVI
The Junction Boys
By Darin Hayes
May 4th, 2012

We can learn a lot about football rules by looking back at historic periods and legendary people in the game. In this edition we get a little dose of both as we look at a portion of the great career of the legendary "Bear" Bryant before he went to Alabama. As a bonus we get to watch a great movie for our learning experience in the ESPN classic, The Junction Boys.

The box office is just around the corner.
