Rules
« on: October 09, 2022, 09:46:42 pm »
Just wanted to say thank you to the coaches who follow the playing rules, playing positions and formations and that get their offensive plays in within 35 seconds. Those games are fun to play and teams win and lose the right way. It’s bad enough when the refs won’t throw flags for game changing plays but even worse when coaches take advantage of refs not enforcing or even knowing the rules for mighty might. I thought this game was for the boys and learning the game the correct way. Hats off to the coaches who are following the same rules some of us are following!

Sitting back, makes me wonder why they even write a book of rules and pay officials to call a game when they don’t know the rules themselves. I’m glad someone else sees this, and yes it’s nice to play teams that teach their kids the right way, not back yard ball. 👌

We would love to see any film regarding your concerns. All film is shared with the director of officials and communicated to the officials each week. Sorry this is happening. As I know it gets frustrating. Film will help us get these things fixed. Thanks for voicing your concerns and we would love to try and get this corrected.

Listen guys most of the coaches teach their players to play with in the rules. Second graders are going to do what they do. After the 1st quarter all bets are off. What is frustrating is when a holding becomes a tackle. One ref said I can’t call it every time. I said if it’s the front side of the play you have to. He said they are second graders. I realize that, these games don’t count, but they do in three weeks. If you really want change. Becoming a ref and make a difference because it’s harder than it looks. 😎😎😎😎

I will say we challenged something at a game and were correct and the ref took our timeout we told him and showed him the rule book and he didn’t care! So that’s kinda crappy when your trying to go by the rules

They are 2nd graders and I know what it likes to get them to do what they are told and that’s not what this post is even about. It’s about coaches who put their kids in a spot and won’t correct it even when a ref is telling them or other coaches are pointing it out. They do it to gain advantage by taking advantage of the refs not stopping it pre play. I agree holds that become a tackle have got to be called and especially when it’s a hold on the player trying to make the tackle in the backfield. Happens every game and I’ve addressed this with the refs at coin toss. No matter which team does it that has to be called. If not, it’s a free for all and all the teams can just start holding and tackling the D line. We scrimmaged a team this year that their entire O line did that every play. We asked the ref if he was gonna flag it or atleast blow the whistle when they kept doing it , he replied , I’ve told them about it, they are 2nd graders. I know this stuff is being addressed by directors and my original post was more for coaches who abuse this and nothing is ever done because in mighty might, “these games don’t matter” which is complete nonsense to us. We spend 3&1/2 hours a week teaching our kids , like the rest of the teams and when you play teams who use 4 minutes of game clock just calling four plays gets old. I’ve coached multiple sports and have been asked to umpire but I don’t have the time but this is 2nd grade football. How hard is it to call and offsides, hold that is obvious on a player trying to make a tackle, and late hits? And some block in the backs. How do these kids learn what they do is right or wrong if there is no accountability by the refs or some coaches?

If u was at the coaches meeting in Bixby the guys over the league said MM will have alot of new refs this yr who don't know the rules but yet the rules really kinda the same as 11man other than the formations that's why u film the whole game most definitely if all the ref is doing is letting it happen everybody got 35sec to run a play with I believe on 2nd grade level it should be 25sec but ay I don't make the rules

I was there and am well aware that the new refs start out in mighty might and it’s 35 seconds. We coaches are the ones who should know all the rules and follow them. This isn’t aimed at one team but there are guys out there that take advantage of refs not knowing them or not enforcing them. That’s the whole point of this post. Coaches shouldn’t have to worry about Turning in film to get this stuff under control. There’s no point in MM, doesn’t affect playoffs or wins and losses but it is disappointing to see it happen time and again. Players not playing their 2 quarters, kids being pulled off the field for “injury” being replaced with a better player, coaches being told to move a kid by a ref and don’t or deliberately using as much time as they want off the clock when they have the ball and the lead. Again, this isn’t directed at one team but we all have game film we all watch and see things later we didn’t see during the game.

Some refs don’t care like i said we showed the rule he didn’t care still took our timeout and the other ref tried to talk to him about it he didn’t care he wouldn’t listen
