HuntFishTexan Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Curious if anyone knows…are there rules regarding noise level from the PA speakers in regards to the play clock? I noticed several times during the game that the PA system was blaring music until there was 11 seconds on the play clock, and once it played until 6 seconds left. I never saw a coach complain to the refs, but I was under the assumption that there were rules regarding this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chop Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Good point. I know you can’t pump noise via speakers so there’s gotta be something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horns96 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Jeff Traylor was complaining about this at DKR the first time we played UTSA. I think it might actually be at the snap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasMDcoach Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I have always understood the rule to be when the snap is imminent the music must stop which is defined as when the offense breaks the huddle or in the no huddle offense when the center lines up over the ball. The big issue is not interfering with the ability to hear the signals. That goes for music, bands and artificial noise makes (but not crowd noise).

Yeah, that’s about as specific as I can find on a general Google search. I noticed yesterday the music was playing loudly while Majors’ hand was on the ball, Ewers was giving his presnap claps, etc. I had never noticed this before and it brought up the question on my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horns96 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Interestingly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that rule enforced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally gives you a massive headache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
