3:34 For those who are curious, this is the rule from the 2024 NFHS Football Rulebook: (3.7.3) During the same dead-ball interval, no substitute shall become a player and then withdraw and no player shall withdraw and re-enter as a substitute unless a penalty is accepted, a dead-ball foul occurs, there is a charged time-out or the period ends. White 29 was the deep receiver for the punt. He left the field of play then returned for 1st and 10. This is a hard one to call as a Ref since you needed to know that the trick play was happening and that 29 left the field before coming back on.

[@MasonAkersOfficial]

This clarification makes my comment a moot point. I didn't realize he was on the field during the punt. Other than him being on during the punt, it would've been a legal play due to the dead ball on change of possession. Good catch.

[@khamjaninja.]

If you were curious whether this play could be run in the pros, it would definitely be illegal by NFL rules: 5-2-5. Offensive Substitutions "The substitution rules are intended to prevent teams from using simulated substitutions to confuse an opponent, while still permitting a player (or players) to enter and leave without participating in a play in certain situations, such as a change in a coaching decision on fourth down, even though he has approached the huddle and communicated with a teammate. Similarly, if a player who participated in the previous play leaves the playing field by mistake, and returns to the playing field prior to the snap, he is not required to reach the inside of the field numerals, provided the defense has the opportunity to match up with him. However, a substitute (i.e., someone who did not participate in the previous play) is required to reach the inside of the field numerals." "The following are applicable to any offensive substitute who is entering the game: (a) He must move onto the field of play or the end zone as far as the inside of the field numerals prior to the snap to be a legal substitution. If he does not and is on the field of play or end zone at the time of a legal snap, he is an illegal substitute." Technically, because the player was on the field for the previous play, he wouldn't be required to be inside the numerals before getting set. However, the rule also states "provided the defense has the opportunity to match up with him." That's gonna be a judgment call by the refs how long is required to deem that a defense "had the opportunity", but I think most would agree that this time span wasn't long enough. (The Manziel play was fine because he never left the field of play.)

If the rule is 3 feet from the point of the tag he took 3 steps in running stride from the point of the tag and that made him like 10 feet from where the tag was attempted

[@mattcary8075]

well what is considered a tag attempt making a physical motion or have the ball in your glove bc he didnt run anymore out when the swiping motion was made but he caught the ball when he was on the. ase well then hed be out of the line

[@sarcasticMIKEchild]

​ the point where Jimmy said the tag attempt was right outside the 3rd base coaches box and he took 3 running stride after that. That's where I'm going from

[@mattcary8075]

@ yeah but it wasnt when he paused it it was once he started it again the tag was a few steps after

[@sarcasticMIKEchild]

Lol ur making me watch this 100 times. So your right it's not when he paused it it's a little after but he still goes way past 3' from that point. 3 feet is 36 inches. Being generous that's 2 strides in a running motion. We'll have to agree to disagree. But it's a moot point because those are MLB rules so who knows what this leagues rules are

[@jhousejr.]

The attempted tag was much earlier!

[@BojackUnb0und]

The question is, what is considered a tag attempt? You could argue that the 3rd basemen started his tag attempt as soon as he got the ball because he reaches down to try and tag the runner's feet and trails behind his feet and never stops trying to tag him. That would mean the basepath is established right on top or or just a little to the left of the 3rd base line. If that's the case he travels much further than 3 feet.

[@theburnetts]

@@BojackUnb0und according to the rules a tag attempt starts the second the fielder has possession of the ball and is reaching towards the runner. Like you said that happens almost immediately after Siri passes past third base. So clearly Siri is out of the path as he runs way way out

[@robertkribs9513]

Agreed. He was 10-12 feet out of the base path after rounding 3rd base because of this analysis. (Assuming the same MLB rule applies).

[@MrJimi16]

I think the spirit of the rule here allows this to a point. I don't think it is fair to "start the clock" literally the second the guy gets the ball and wants to put him out. I think it makes more sense to require the runner to do something with intentionality. A good bit of the being off the base line here is his slide going past third. As soon as he is up he is more or less advancing down the line. I don't hate it. Frankly, I think the rule is a bit too strict. Give them 5 feet I say.

[@Zerothas]

Under OBR, the minor league manual gives us the following definition: “When determining whether a base runner should be called out under Rule 5.09(b) (1), so long as the umpire determines that a play is being made on the runner and an attempt to tag is occurring (i.e., the fielder is moving to tag the runner), no physical tag attempt is required to call a runner out for leaving the basepath.“ Simply moving towards the runner in an attempt to retire them is enough to judge a tag attempt.

My problem with “how’s he supposed to just turn - he’s so far away and his body is turned” is that he’s in that situation because he ran so far from the base. The initial tag was applied near the base and he went ten feet over. Baseline rule is so arbitrary idk how verbiage/field lines have never been clarified for it

He ran out of the base path not because of his natural momentum, but specifically to evade the tag. Should be out in the spirit of the game any time that happens by over 3 ft.

[@MrJimi16]

That isn't what spirit of the game means, you are describing literalism. He wasn't running into left field like Beltre did that one time, he was running to the plate. Even if he deviates more than three feet here, the spirit of the rule is that the runners aren't just avoiding a tag but trying to advance or retreat. He was clearly advancing here.

[@LoveLawWill]

@@VoidiumTheEye Thank you, that is correct! The baserunner doesn't choose base path based on what is happening behind them, especially if what is behind them cannot tag them (imagine the RF making a lunge toward the runner rounding 3rd, that being a 'tag attempt' and the runner called out for taking the usual swing around 3rd), rather the runner is trying to go to home and the tag attempt only starts when a fielder has a legitimate shot at the tag which 3B did have otherwise he would have tagged him.

Agreed. I think Jomboys take on that interaction is way off. He puts the attempt to tag way after. The third basemen is trying to tag him while he's still getting up. Then tries to explain it as he's trying to turn. He's not rounding the bag dude. He's getting up and running away from the other player, i.e. avoiding the tag. Hes like 15 feet out of his basepath. the play at home...that's on the catcher.

@@TheHeadincharge The HS rule is that they have to be inside the numbers after the ball is whistled ready for play (he was) and set (he was). The official at the top even "punches" backwards (this is a communication to the rest of the crew that the player nearest to him is "off the line" and legally in the backfield), so they didn't miss it. They can't just step on the field (have to be at a minimum between the numbers and the hash), and they can't be in motion. Need to stop blaming the officials every time something happens - this was a legal play and a great design by the HC of the white team.

[@Michaelthekiwi]

Being a New Zealander, I understand Rugby. And in Rugby, a player may only enter the field of play when the match is stopped and the referee has given permission. Seems like a rule that should apply in American Football so you don't have players running off and on all the time leading to confusion. Had the Wide Receiver stood just inside the sideline yelling encouragement like they were an excited reserve/substitute then they could have got away with it.

[@TheHeadincharge]

Thing is, those rules do exist in American football… that play isn’t even close to legal. I assume that the refs made some weird error in thinking that it’s not a “substitution” because there’s only ten men on the field, but substitutions are more so “check-ins” in reality, not literal 1:1 substitutions.
