cayce13 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 c. The following Other Illegal Equipment: 2. Communication devices, used to communicate with a player except during an outside 9-yard mark conference (7-yard marks in nine-, eight-, and six-player competition). ART. 1 . . . Communication devices including but not limited to audio recorder, Local Area Network (LAN) phones and/or headsets, mobile phones, still photograph(s), film, analog or digital video(s) and/or Internet depictions, shall not be used to communicate with a player except during an outside 9-yard mark conference (7-yard marks in nine-, eight- and six-player competition). NOTE: Each state association may authorize the use of a drum by a team composed of deaf or partially deaf players, in order to establish a rhythmic cadence following the ready-for-play signal. ART. 2 . . . Communication devices including but not limited to audio recorder, Local Area Network (LAN) phones and/or headsets, mobile phones, still photograph(s), film, analog or digital video(s) and/or Internet depictionsmay be used by coaches and nonplayers. Thanks, ref. Sounds like anything is a go as long as it isn't used by players inside the 9-yard mark. So can a team place coaches/scouts at various places around the stadium or field and have them communicating with the box or sideline via headset? Or is the communication limited to the box and sideline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the communication limited to the box and sideline? I see no way to control things like this. If they are on the field they have to stay inside the team box. If they are in the stands or standing around the fence I don't know of anything we could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peabody4ever Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Does unsportsmanlike conduct on defense always result in first down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballref Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Does unsportsmanlike conduct on defense always result in first down? Do you mean an automatic first down? Typically a 15 yard penalty does result in a first down To answer your question, NO. The only automatic first downs in high school are roughing fouls. This is roughing the snapper, kicker, passer, and holder. Pass interference, unsportsmanlike conduct, and personal fouls are not automatic first downs.

footballref Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Are there any new rules or changes for this year? any "pet-peeves" that will be focused upon? There are some rule changes: https://www.nfhs.org/media/1015054/2015-nfhs-football-rules-comments-web-site.pdf As far as "pet peeves" that will be focused on, we won't find out what the state wants for another 6-8 weeks when meeting take place. There we will be told what the focus will be. In recent years it has been sideline control and keeping the teams back in the area they are supposed to be in.

FBfan26 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Question...Why in TN on kickoffs you can't advance the ball out of the inzone? Does it have something to do with safety? Edited August 12, 2015 by FBfan26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
