My friend and avid blog reader, Timmy Young sent me this information on an upcoming football officiating clinic he is planning. This is fantastic opportunity to gain some exposure and training just before the season gets started.

One of football officiaiting most confusing penalties is pass interferenece. Fans often ask questions about the penalty for pass interference. It can be confusing when the referee sometime announces that “the penalty is fifteen yards from the previous spot” and other times he says “first down at the spot of the foul.”
Let’s start with the simple things. When the foul is for offensive pass interference, it’s easy: the penalty is fifteen yards from where the ball was snapped (officials call this the “previous spot”) and the number of the down stays the same. But for pass interference by the defensive team, then things are more complicated. Here’s the story.
This in an interesting time of year in NCAA football officiating circles. Its the time of the year when open football official roster slots are filled, supplemental roster spots are offered to new prospects and rookies anxiously await their fate at the hands of DIII and DII conference supervisors. I’ve personally waited on pins and needles through the period of time that starts with the final spring scrimmage and ends with the release of the conference rosters.
