minor 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2014 I hope I am in the right section and as newbie this maybe a dumb question but please bear with me.Under IFAF if you are in the no run zone and the ball ends up, by penalty or play for a loss, out of the no run zone, does the no run rule still apply. I have refs and coaching arguing that once you are the in the zone you can't" get the advantage of running" by penalty. I see nothing that says this. I see it as in the zone or out, however you get there.Thank you again for any info that you have? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patandsu 3 Report post Posted October 6, 2014 As an I9 ref for several seasons, I see this is once you are out of the no run zone, you are free to do what you want. We have had younger teams take a penalty just to get out of the no run zone as they can't pass well. You are either in the no run zone, or not, should not be a gray area. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
