NFHS Experimental Rule
S In the course of play, should the football helmet
become dislodged from any players head, the
helmet must be immediately inspected for quality
and fit by a coach, equipment manager, or athletic
trainer, during which time the player is required to
sit out for at least ONE play. If the team does not
want the player to sit out, then a time out must be
taken. If the affected team has no time outs, the
player must sit out for one play.
NFHS Experimental Rule
S If the helmet is dislodged during the final play of a
quarter, the helmet may be refitted during the
quarter break.
S In the official’s judgment, if the helmet was
dislodged in a purposeful manner by an opponent
and a foul occurred, an official’s time out will
occur for the helmet inspection and the team will
not be penalized by requiring the player to sit out a
play.

Holding
S
Keys
S Pre Snap
S Need to look through defensive formation and
anticipate where the rush will come from.
S At the snap
S U has G/C/G plus 2 down lineman.
S R has opposite tackle, unless trips to near side, then
take near tackle.
Keys
S After the snap
S Read “stretch” play, U will clear the back side.
S R progresses from C – T – Sidezone at the POA
When is it a hold?
S Call any major takedown that would
embarrass the crew if it were not called.
S Even if not a takedown, call holding at the
POA (point of attack).
Should you call a hold?
S Did the blocker gain an unfair advantage?
S Did the defender have his jersey stretched or have to reach out
for the runner with one arm?
S Was their disengagement between the holder and the person who
was being held?
S Was the defender taken in a direction by the hold that was to an
undesirable location?
S Did the defender give up on his pursuit by having a step taken
away?
Categories of Holding
S Takedown
S Tackle
S Hook and Restrict
S Jersey Stretch
S Twist and Turn
Feet / Beat
S Look at the whole picture. You can tell
when the rusher gets his frame past the
blocker.
S If the blockers hands are in good position
(inside the frame), they are OK.
S When the hands get outside the frame,
then they become subject to a foul.
Feet / Beat
S Look for a demonstration of material
restriction:
S Shoulders get turned.
S Defender reaches out and the blocker pulls
him back.
S Action should prevent the defender from
moving or doing what he wants to.
Double Team Block
S Must be a takedown.
S If the defender gets to one side of the double
team, then watch the feet to see if the blocker
restricts the defender.
“Rip” Move
S If you do not see how the arms get in that
“hooked” position, you can not throw the
flag unless the blockers feet stop moving
and he makes a separate restricting act.
Blocker Goes to Ground
S Do not stop officiating when the
blocker goes to the ground.
S Many time the blocker will grab a
leg/foot or leg whip an opponent.

Pass Interference
S
Pass Interference Philosophies
• Defensive players have as much right to
the path of the ball as eligible offensive
players.
Pass Interference Philosophies
• Both players have a right to the ball and
there must be an “obvious intent to
impede” to rule pass interference.
Pass Interference Philosophies
• There can be no pass interference at or
behind the line of scrimmage or if the pass
does not cross the neutral zone, but
defensive actions such as tackling a receiver
can still result in a penalty for defensive
holding.
DPI: Timing of Restrictions
DPI: Timing of Restrictions
• Restrictions begin when the pass is thrown
DPI: Timing of Restrictions
• Restrictions begin when the pass is thrown
• Restrictions end for the defense once any
player touches the pass
DPI: Rule 7-5-10
It is forward-pass interference if: (a) any player
of A or B who is beyond the neutral zone
interferes with an eligible opponent’s
opportunity to move toward, catch or bat the
pass; or (b) any player hinders an opponent’s
vision without making an attempt to catch,
intercept or bat the ball, even though no
contact was made.

OPI: Timing of Restrictions
• Restrictions begin at the snap
OPI: Timing of Restrictions
• Restrictions begin at the snap

pass (except as to ineligible offensive players)
OPI: Types
OPI: Types
1. Push off
OPI: Types
1. Push off
Initiating contact with a defender by shoving or
pushing off, thus creating separation in an
attempt to catch a pass.
OPI: Types
2. Blocking downfield (two different situations)
OPI: Types
2. Blocking downfield (two different situations)
• Blocks anywhere downfield if the pass has not
yet been thrown.

2. Blocking downfield (two different situations)
• Blocks anywhere downfield if the pass has not
yet been thrown.
• Blocks in the same half of the field to which
the ball has already been thrown.
OPI: Types
3. Contact to prevent an interception
OPI: Types
3. Contact to prevent an interception
Contact that would be DPI when preventing the
defensive player from intercepting the ball. This
includes driving through a defender who has
established position on the field.
Not DPI/OPI
Not DPI/OPI
Rule (7-5-11)
It is not forward-pass interference if: (a) unavoidable
contact occurs when two or more eligible are making a
simultaneous, bona fide attempt to move toward, catch
or bat the pass; (b) contact by A is immediately made
on a B lineman and the contact does not continue
beyond the expanded neutral zone; or (c) contact by B
is obviously away from the direction of the pass.
Not DPI/OPI: Philosophies
Incidental contact by a defender’s hands, arms, or
body when both players are competing or neither
player is looking for the ball. If there is any
question whether contact is incidental, there is no
pass interference.
Not DPI/OPI: Philosophies
Inadvertent tangling of the feet when both
players are playing the ball or neither is playing
the ball.
Not DPI/OPI: Philosophies
OPI will not be called on a screen pass where
the ball is overthrown behind the line of
scrimmage and lands beyond the line of
scrimmage and linemen are blocking downfield.
Not DPI/OPI: Philosophies
Bang/Bang – When contact is simultaneous or
near simultaneous with the ball arriving at the
receiver, pass interference will not be called.
