SWAC Suspends Football Officiating Crew


Not that it really matters one way or another, but I believe I saw something I have never seen before from this crew as well. I swear the female ref was working the Bama State sideline the entire first half. In the second half she was working the PV sideline. Is that normal? I know in basketball, sometimes refs switch spots when a coach is particularly upset with them, but during the course of the game, they will work their way back through all three positions anyway, so it really doesn't matter. Don't think I have ever seen that in football. Somebody that has the game saved, can you clarify that this is what I saw?
The officials have been doing that about 3 years.

One of two things happened, the bama state coach was getting on her ass and she couldn't control him, and an altercation from her was about to surface.

Or she got tired of him and asked the Linesman on the other side to switch again because something was about to happen..

Bama St coach tends to ride the officials and if you're not a strong official, it will distract you from the game and making the correct calls. I've seen dude ride the Head Linesman at the SU game.
 



Just stop it man. Again, it doesn't matter if he was in the endzone or had broken the plain. All that matters is that HIS FOOT WAS OUT OF BOUNDS on the 1-yard line when he picked the ball back up. Dead ball where his foot was out.
I know what I saw. Look at the video

Yes they do switch sides in the 2nd half.
In basketball they rotate throughout the game as calls are being made. Has nothing to do with the coaches.

These may help you see it better and in 3D
