Ga96 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 In high school it happens but us rare. Most refs really have no idea what they are doing. They just like to be a part of they game they love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severino Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 At first, the ref holding the chain pulls so hard the pole bends but it's still behind the ball which is on the 12 yard line. Then he somehow pulls the marker all the way to the 11 1/2 yard line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HooverOutlaw Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 It goes on more than people think. High school some. But college and pros when gambling is involved probably every weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooverOutlaw Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 A few years Hoover is playing at Vestavia. Hoover kicks off ball goes into the endzone , ball placed at 20. 1st down Vestavia runs for 5 yards ball now at 25 2nd down Vestavia runs for 2 yards ball at 27 3rd down Vestavia runs for 2 1/2 yards ball is clearly at the 29 1/2 yard line the refs signaled first down. Clearly ball needed to get to the 30. Playing Central refs let Central return a kick off out of the end zone. Crooked refs probably not just bad crews. Now the game at Vestavia was just weak refs scared of Buddy Anderson Vestavia coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien12x Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Do refs make mistakes? Yes. Do refs have bias? Yes. Do refs CHEAT? I’d argue 99% no. See it waaay too much at the youth level where parents and coaches yell CHEATING over missed calls and wrongly awarded calls. More times than not it’s a mistake, not some ref getting money under the table on some random 9U game 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More times than not it’s a mistake, not some ref getting money under the table on some random 9U game The bias comes into the picture more in the regular season than playoffs. The AHSAA assigns refs in the playoffs from different areas. We did have a deal with Spain Park getting the same crew in basketball a few years ago. But was not figured out till after the season. The were weak and intimidated by Jay Barker former Alabama national title qb in 1992. Refs were getting autographs and pictures with him after games. At the time he had a morning radio show in Birmingham and would talk in depth about his daughters games including refs. Most think refs did not want to be blasted on his radio show so the let his daughters team run wild. Plus his daughters team led the state that year in free theow attempts. Pretty obvious the refs were scared of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurricaneNick Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 The refs in the USC Arizona game just cheated in front of a national audience. Ref has the ball in his hand and has not set the ball after a first down and the clock runs to zero. (4 seconds left on the clock) plenty of time to spike and bring on the FG team. Refs called the end of the half. 99% of the time bitching about refs is sorry but god damn the clock was running when the ref had the ball in his hand??? Clock STOPS after a first down in college. Watch the first video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many don't know the high school rules. I wind up correcting people all the time and they always say Oh! I didn't know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nptb17 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 First, the spot of the ball was wrong. The kid was a half yard short of the marker. The first official to spot the ball was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus69 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 In 2012...up in Norcross...we had a ref throw a block on our Mike LBer...which sprang Kamara for about a 30 yard 1st down at a critical moment. Said it was accidental. Didn't look accidental. At all... Rufus>> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
