Message: [QUOTE="VaSaltine, post: 11975, member: 745"] I don't think it's been changed back and they should be calling the number. NCAA Football Rules Changes for 2004 Rule 11-2-1-d: [FONT=Arial]The referee, if he is equipped with a microphone, will announce the nubmer of the[/FONT] player committing the foul. Intent: To provide key information on players committing fouls faster. Rationale: [FONT=Arial]Officials already are required to report the position or number of the player who fouled to[/FONT] the player’s coach (Rule 11-1-3-b). Depending on the circumstances of the game, it can take several plays for this information to be delivered to the coach. Using the referee to deliver the information provides all interested parties (coaches, media outlets, spectators, etc.) with the correct information faster. [/QUOTE]
