As I was reading the boards, I realized that there are many questions asked about what happened during the game and why things are done. Not to mention questions about why things are done the way they are.

 

I have decided to help out as much as I can. If I can I would like to remain anonymous. But I will guarantee I will give you a good answer to your question about the beautiful game as best as I can.

 

I am an experienced referee in youth, adult, high school, college, and other levels. I have been around the state and know most of the top referees across Tennessee. We are a small fraternity and know each other well. I may have a different take than you have heard before, but bear with me, I am coming from what TSSAA, NCAA/NAIA, and USSF have taught in advanced level classes. If I don't have the answer, then I will find it from people who will know.

 

Later I will address an issue that I saw on other posts...........Kicks from the Penalty Mark (PKs): How they are called and how they are dealt with. If that interests you let me know, if not try something else

 

 

So.......

 

Ask Away.

The Goalie Kicks From the Mark:

 

 

The basic rule is that the keeper may move side to side, but not off the line until the ball is kicked.

 

We know that, We all Agree, We Don't Argue.

 

 

What if the goal comes off the line 1 yard and the ball sails over the net?

Should you call it back.........

 

 

 

The general idea is that you DO NOT call it back in the situation because the infraction by the goalie is trifiling. The kicker would miss the goal anyway whether or not the keeper comes out.

 

That is simple, but it gets trickier as you go along

 

 

What if the keeper steps out a little, but then makes the save on the line or the ball is shot directly at him?

Same situation, the ball would not go in anyway, therefore the kicker had his chance. the kick is not retaken. He had a bite at the apple.

 

That is the spirit of the game and as long as referees stay consistant through the game, there is not much to argue. We try to be consistant across the board, but that is difficult with all the personalities and styles.

 

Penalty kicks are sucessful upwards of 80% of the time. If the shot is not on goal, it doesn't matter what the keeper does. One or two steps off the line is usually not enough to make a difference. Distraction of the kicker is not a factor because the keeper is moving anyway whether or not he moves side to side or jumps out and also because the kicker should make the shot.

 

 

The referee uses his judgement when calling the keeper too far out on a PK or KFTPM. Rarely there is a situation where the keeper coming off the line will adversely affect the shot, but when it happens it should be called and usually is. (This is usually if the keeper is off the line 4 or 5 yards/ 3 or 4 steps and stops the ball way before it gets to the goal line.

 

Final ruling: Put the ball in the net, not over, not to the side, not at the keeper. Then there is little to worry about.

 

Watch the last KFTPM. You will see how far out the pros get to go (Dudek always steps out)..

I know enough about the BHS/FHS game to answer questions about it, but I cannot ethically question or bash the gentlemen that refereed the game if I disagreed with anything.

 

I would prefer to stay with questions about the rules/laws of the game

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
