CCA Mechanics
Head Linesman Moves Downfield Upon Reading A Pass
- When the Head Linesman reads a pass, he may move slowly and deliberately beyond the line of scrimmage to maintain focus on the receivers in his coverage area. Rarely will this drift downfield be more than 5 yards prior to the pass being thrown.

During Game Responsibilities
Side Judge
- Deals with all issues involving the game clock- Keeps the time on the field if the scoreboard malfunctions (NCAA)- Alerts the Referee of timing errors
Side Judge And Field Judge

Odds And Ends
CCA 7 Man Mechanics – Sort Of
- 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 Official Conferences
- 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
Sounding And Looking Professional- 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”- You MAY say the number of the player.
