What is the rule with hurdling in high school? I always thought it was only a penalty if you don't completely clear the defender in the jump but last night columbia was called for a 15 yard penalty for hurdling even though the player completely cleared the defender

 

Here is a tape of the play

Here is the actual wording of the rule, which is Rule 9, Section 4, Article 3, Subject D in the national rulebook: "An attempt by a player to jump (hurdle) with one or both feet or knees foremost over an opponent who is contacting the ground with no part of his body except one or both feet is illegal.

CoachK has the rule right out of the book.

To put it in even more simple terms....it is illegal for an offensive player to hurdle a defensive player who is standing on their feet. It is legal for an offensive player to hurdle a defensive player who is on their knees or laying on the ground.

The kid made a very athletic move that would be OK on Saturday or Sunday, but the officials got the call right. 

This is from A LOOOOOOONG time ago, but even on Saturdays for a while it was illegal. Randy Moss should have been flagged for this play.

Gatorman, I have no idea what the college rule was at the time, but under existing high school rules, that's a close call.  In addition to a defender being on his knees or lying on the ground (see Just a Coach's post above), a defensive player can be hurdled if both his feet are off the ground; i.e., he lays out in an attempt to make a diving tackle . . . which arguably is what the defender trying to make the play on Moss did.  In real time, it's pretty tough to determine whether the defender's feet are both off the ground at the precise moment of the hurdle.  Judgment call, I guess, but I would not fault the officials for not making the call on this play.    Oh, and this clip just shows that Moss was a man playing with boys when he was at Marshall.

11 for 22
154 passing yards 
2 TDs

11 carries for 90 yards 
2 TDs rushing

 

This was his stats from this past week in what was his first start at QB in his career at any level

Someplace in Moss's 30 for 30 he talks about it, but yes, he was a man among boys (helped he had a decent QB as well). Army was actually coming off a 10-2 season the previous year and barely lost to Auburn in the Independence Bowl.

    • For clarity, it appears that Northwestern, not the FHSAA, administered the suspension.  Not sure that does, or does not, render the arguments here moot, but one could argue that the school is trying to get out ahead of this.  
    • Given the rules, the suspension seems reasonable. But, as others have suggested, the rules can easily be said to be absurd. Since when, in America, is the voluntary gifting of items or services a bad thing? Are we going to start infiltrating Christmas celebrations to see if anyone got presents deemed to be bad? "Have a look at what's under the Christams tree, there might be some Uber gift cards or other things and we can't have anyone giving those out!" If Teddy Bridgewater is OK paying for some uber rides etc, why is that a bad thing? Sure, it gives MNW an advantage in attracting players. So what? Maybe it'll be a waste of his money. Again, so what? There does need to be more robust conversations around all of this. Yes, the rules should be the same for everyone. Yes, if they aren't the same, and/or some break them while many others don't, that is unfair. But, what, in all seriousness, is the case against allowing free adults to give gifts to poor kids who happen to be good at sports? The only argument I've heard is that it's against the rules. I'm not seeing anyone argue the rule itself makes sense in a free society.
    • Nolebull is ordering his "Free Teddy B" shirt right now
    • Looks like the FHSAA has agreed with Perspective rather than NoleBull and has chosen to suspend HC Bridgewater while they investigate these impermissible benefits given to players.  Why have rules if you aren't going to enforce them and if you don't like them then work to have them changed. 
    • If it’s for something reasonable like a Gatorade and water donation & they reach out to the community of course I will help.    it’s all within reason tho. 14,000 for a 3 day gym stay is unreasonable. 2,000 a week for food. Me & a few alumni would just get together and cook.
