All right, thank you. I would be very weary of a reporter questioning the officiating though. Especially from the Orlando Sentinel.  

I am not backing down that you make yourself look like a fool every time that you post garbage like that. You should quit while you are behind.  

Jullian, great points as usual. You always provide great analysis on this message board, but it can be exhausting trying to reason with people like FBGUY1989. 

I haven't forgotten my autograph for you Perspective. 

No. When my school traveled to Lakeland, the game was over by the fourth quarter.  lol 

Mainland has a new Head Coach now, and very few seniors. The Buccaneers are very young, and will only improve in the next few years I believe. 

I noticed that Silver King started a post about officiating on the other message board, and if he is till around on this message board, I would like to respond to some of his points and questions. Thank you.   

Perspective, if the hold, which is not a player safety foul, is clearly away from the play and there is no possibility of the defender affecting the play, that should not be a penalty. There is nothing in the rule book that permits or allows an official to "ignore' an action, that is similar to an unwritten rule. However, most good Head Coaches will understand, if not agree with, the fact that a "hold" in that circumstance will not result in a foul. Of course, player safety fouls are to be penalties regardless of where they occur on the field of play or the end zone. Officials usually will tell a Head Coach, Assistant Coaches do NOT need to be speaking to officials, that he/she will watch and keep on eye on holding and other potential fouls in the future. Coaches have every right to question rules interpretations, but not judgment calls on non-player safety fouls like holding.

The newspaper shouldn't be insinuating anything. The writer most likely doesn't have the knowledge or the authority to know what a "bad" call is anyway. Most non-officials don't either.

Do you want an autograph? 

Perspective, Clarence Darrow, F Lee Bailey, and Perry Mason would be proud of of you for this great post. I would like to think that my point-of-view is finally wearing off on you, and making you smarter, but your brains are shining through regardless. I might even have that autograph for you, if a few posters from the message board get together for a meal in the near future! 

SubZero, how did the officials take away a touchdown before halftime? 

Thank you Jullian. 

I try not to break the rules. That toilet paper of a "Newspaper" in Daytona Beach gets me going though. 

Thank you. The Head Coach can send in the film of that situation to the Officials Association for clarification and an explanation if that is indeed what happened. 

That is too bad. Player Safety is more important than Dillard's fans feelings. The Panthers should consider scheduling a tougher opponent for Homecoming next time.

I am interested in officiating in Florida High School Football. Was there anything that you wanted to add or any questions that you had? You're welcome. 

Yes, but that just proves how giving of a person that I truly am! You're welcome again Ray.
