Welcome to Unfiltered Officiating — providing unbiased insights on hot-button issues, play review and rulings. The goal is simple: Provide the public with an unbiased opinion on how a play is ruled — opinions coming from anonymous sources within officiating.

What are you talking about? Our post states this is NOT a foul as this post suggests.

This isn’t even a new rule at the high school level. (?)
Now all basketballs must have the NFHS logo on them. That deal with Wilson must have some crazy incentives!!

All of this is very reasonable. Great interview from Sankey.
Sankey's reasons for no public access to replay audio: Too many games going on at once, too many voices in the room. Says the SEC has never said no to providing that access, but it's difficult to do correctly. Also chastises announcers for criticizing officials.

There would literally be 60 flags in a game if officials didn’t work to prevent things. It’s not coaching. It’s simply helping players and coaches navigate the rules.

If that's the case then why is the ref helping rather than just officiating the game. Dumb

Can TV announcers even pass a rules test?
Blaming TV announcers and officiating analysts for problems we all see with our eyes is a bold move.

Good photos, but remember the ball CAN touch the ground so long as it remains in the player’s control. Whether or not it did in this case is tight.

This is so wrong it’s not even funny. Under no circumstances would a college football official consider this tight end to be covered by the outside receiver. The TE is so very clearly off the line.
Notre Dame got away with Illegal man (TE) down field on a big play vs Miami Hurricanes #MiamivsNotreDame #GoodBadUgly Film Review Watch Full Video NOW! youtu.be/OqhmBhjiwOQ?si=BLhk…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The TE in this play is eligible since he is fully off the line of scrimmage (helmet behind center's body), while the RT's helmet is in line with the center's waist (required to be a LOS player). This is a legal formation, and the TE is eligible as an H-Back. x.com/DrewPaPa/statu… x.com/AnklePik/statu…

ESPN game announcers speak an alternative.
Translation: "Stop criticizing the officials for getting it wrong and instead we need to blame the ESPN announcers who didn't fall in line and dared speak the truth."

Yes— otherwise, this would be know as the “hideout play” and would draw a 15-yard penalty as an unfair act. Good preventive officiating!
Is there some type of huddle rule I’m missing here?Ref obviously blew Damp’s cover.

Clearly a correct call.
Here was the play that the referees called North Allegheny goalkeeper Jordan Beemer for jumping the line early. The save would’ve kept the teams tied on penalties 👀 Mt. Lebanon won on penalties, 5-4. 🧤 @pghsoccernow CC: @KBarnes_PG @PGSportsNow

This is already against NCAA rules.
Replying to @glenn_kinley
It's only a matter of time before the NCAA & NFL put an end to this.

Absolutely the correct call. Player attempting to recover touched OOB prior to gaining possession.
Ruled kick was out of bounds, Raider ball

AI is not very good with interpreting rules yet…
Hey Mike Pereira, learn your rules… That was 100% the wrong call and Michigan got screwed.
