This is where lower levels are learning poor sportsmanship. Flags should have been raining on the first arrow pull.

Western Ky vs James Madison: Excessive celebration meets coming to the defense of a fallen QB.

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

Good form. Quick feet.

Man went straight to pass pro 😂

This happens a few times a year. Main thing is the whining about it is getting old.

Been a rule for a century. Deal with it.

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

This is one of those defensive holding calls the deep officials have to see. It impacts speed, rhythm, and footwork, likely causing the QB to unnecessarily work progressions.

[MLFootball @MLFootball]

BRUTAL: The #NFL refs miss a CLEAR HOLDING call on the #Chiefs LB.

Completely messed up #Bills TE Dalton Kincaid’s route😳😳😳

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

This is a 100% hold. Not sure how it gets missed.

[Aloysius Carnesworth @alcarnes]

⁦@NFL⁩ not one #holding call on the ⁦@ChicagoBears⁩ today? ⁦@Browns⁩ win anyway but please tell us what you have against ⁦@Flash_Garrett⁩

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

@clayharbs82 This is textbook holding. Must be called on all levels.

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

Same logic in HS, but lower levels can expect more “alignment help.” By HS varsity the WRs should be able to legally align independently.

Note: LOS Officials shouldn’t literally tell a WR to move FWD/BWD. That could lead to false starts & illegal formations.

[Gene Steratore @GeneSteratore]

When officiating the line of scrimmage, general philosophy is not to be overly technical and split hairs over very minor infractions (such as a receiver's hand slightly breaking the LOS). However, when an infraction is so egregious and obvious, a flag has to be thrown.

Kadarius Toney is blatantly lined up offside and in the neutral zone. You rarely see an offsides penalty on the offense, but that is not because this play in #BUFvsKC isn't a foul.

It is because a receiver rarely lines up offsides.

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

@CoachDanCasey Illegal if using HS rules from NFHS. That’s kick catching interference. The ball must go 10 yards AND touch the ground before the kicking team can touch it.

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

@SportRefGripes Some states don’t work that way. In Alabama, if that were to happen, the local association would likely face repercussions from the state office, and potentially be unable/unsanctioned to officiate games affiliated with the state organization.

@Coach_DLloyd Please do not offer the AHSAA whatever technology is being used to track this data. 🦓😮‍💨🏃🏻‍♂️

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

Yet another camp season where blatant fouls are celebrated as “good plays.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Footballism @FootbaIIism]

This DB would catch these hands

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

@HSFootballRules This rule should be emphasized reading. Every year a coach takes a TO thinking it buys a player back in, and then goes ballistic when told otherwise.

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

@FootbaIIism 🔶That’s a block in the back at the 5yd line. It’s coming back.

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

This is a very poor perspective on officiating. Official abuse is not OK simply because the game is over. If you hadn’t noticed, there is a nation-wide official shortage, and this treatment is precisely why.

Do better @Outkick.

[OutKick @Outkick]

An Alabama H.S. umpire threw a kid out AFTER the state championship was already over... 😂 https://t.co/iJ06RsOBNd

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

This is why hurdling is illegal in High School.

[Football Is Life @FootbaIl_Tweets]

What was #6 doing and why..

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

When does it end? When there are no officials? Then what? Everyone needs to realize we are at a turning point. Many officials are quitting, and it’s getting more difficult to find new officials in all sports.

[lynne martin 🏀 @martin_lynne]

Today at my son’s AAU game at Spookynook. The opposing team coach swung at the ref. Coach was thrown out.

[NAFOA AL @NAFOAAL]

🟨 Flag on the play. Drop 8-10 from the list. Replace with The Program, Varsity Blues, and Wildcats.

[Coach Schreiber @coach_schreib]

I can't disagree with this list.
