Ease up on the refs

So, if this proposed addition passes, what will the TSSAA do with all the fines collected?

Educate the refs on the rules of football -- better training?

Welp, it's been approved

 

a. Approved proposed addition to Article I, Section 8 (Responsibility of the Principal) of the TSSAA Bylaws:

 

Section 8: Member schools are responsible for the conduct of the coaches. Public criticism of game officials by administrators or coaches may result in a fine of $500.00 assessed to the school. Other non-monetary penalties may be assessed by the Executive Director based on the facts.

 

Voted to add Q&A/examples to the handbook to more clearly define what could warrant a fine.

There were at least five times this past season in games I went to where officials blew the whistle because they thought the ball carrier was tackled but the fakes were so good the QB still had the ball. 

It cost the team probably two touchdowns.  On one particular play the ref blew the play dead and the ball carrier was actually 30 yards down field on the other side of the field.

Same exact thing has happened to WC several times over the past few years and never nothing done about it. WC actually got the ball where the ref blew the runner down but he didn't even have the ball!

Quit paying them so much money and maybe you'll get refs on the field that love and know the game instead of a bunch of kids just trying to draw a decent paycheck....just my opinion.

I disagree...I think we should pay them more yet hold them accountable for poor performance  so we can have more people interested in doing it and keeping their job. With the little they make now if TSSAA did hold them accountable for poor performance and fired all the bad ones there wouldn't be enough to go around and low pay would not entice others to fill the vacancy.

 

p.s. I'm not a ref...lol

I could go for that. There is just way to many on the field that know nothing about the game. You see it week after week.

like the old saying goes "you get what you pay for" ...like I said earlier most don't even know the basic rules let alone the lesser known and definitely don't know how to separate high school , college and pro rules. TSSAA has a hard time getting and keeping good officials try paying em more for a while!

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
