FJ SJ SJ During Game Responsibilities • SideJudge • Deals with all issues involving the game clock • Keeps the time on the field if the scoreboard malfunctions • Alerts the Referee of timing errors • SideJudgeAndFieldJudge • During time outs, take charge of instructing the teams to return • to the field at the 15 seconds to ready-for-play whistle by the BJ • Take chief responsibility for communicating penalty information, • time outs remaining, game developments, etc. to the head coach • Acts as the apprentice to the HL or LJ and assists them whenever • possible • - Help with ball rotation, those coming out from the BJ and those • going in to the U .
Odds And Ends • CCA7ManMechanics – SortOf • Use the positioning, coverage mechanics, keys, etc. • Ignore the sections of the book obviously addressing NCAA mechanics • such as throwing your hat when players go out of bounds, • the 40 second clock, etc. • Ignore the CCA “if in doubts”, they are opposite from the NFHS ones • because they have instant replay to fix their mistakes while we don’t • It’s only the mechanics, not the rules we are borrowing – it’s still NFHS rules • OfficialConferences • We now have 7, rather than 5 different opinions and views • Conference when you need to, otherwise keep your distance and positions • Numerous conferences make it look like you don’t know what’s going on .
Microphone Mechanics • SoundingAndLookingProfessional • Practice, practice, practice • Say the words even in games you don’t have a microphone on you • - Face the press box and STAND STILL • There is no need to yell, that’s why you have a microphone • Speak in a conversational and unhurried tone • Be informative and concise, but not ridiculously brief • “Rehearse” with the Umpire to know you have all the information before • making a formal announcement (foul, down, ½ the distance, etc.) • Basic information includes: • Foul • Offense or defense / Kicking team or receiving team • Yardage of the penalty • Down • Use “Prior to the snap” or “After the conclusion of the play” • rather than “Dead ball” • Never say the number of the player or the player’s position, but when • necessary you can say vaguely “the player involved” .
