  14. Pre-game Communication Between the School Administration and Game Officials The host school principal, principal’s designee or game administrator should indicate his/her general location for the contest so that the referees know where to look if there is a need.

  16. Officials communicating misconduct to coaches NFHS Rule 5-3 states that game officials shall communicate the nature of misconduct to coaches, the scorer and other officials when a yellow/red card has been issued. This communication is a notification and not an explanation. It is not intended to be an opportunity for the coach to discuss or dissent the call. It is, however, an educational opportunity for the coach to address and/or correct the behavior of the carded individual. www.nfhs.org

  17. Officials communicating misconduct to coaches (con’t.) It is important to note that interscholastic athletics are an extension of the classroom and the behavior of all involved should reflect as such. Coaches and officials are expected to model good sportsmanship and to uphold the honor and dignity of their profession. This includes all interactions with student-athletes, other coaches and officials, school administration and spectators. www.nfhs.org

Do not stop the clock at the 2:00 mark. • If a display clock is available, throughout the entirety of the contest, the contest official must be sure that the official game time kept on the field is in sync with the display stadium clock. • If the display stadium clock and the official game time kept on the field are not in sync, the official must be sure to make the appropriate adjustments to the display stadium clock during the water breaks or any stoppage. • Prior to the game, be sure to communicate the clock procedures with clock operator, and the coaches of both teams.

  19. Pre-Game Arrive • Punctuality • highly recommends each member of a crew to arrive 45 minutes prior to the start of the contest, at the latest. • Public Appearance • Please be mindful that as an official in uniform you are in representation of not only yourself, but your officials’ association and the FHSAA. • When arriving at events dress in a professional manner.
