Yes I have seen it happen. When the calls or lack there of making calls by the officials create safety issues inside the game, you have to protect your players.

I think this is the only real reason, and it would have to be extreme.

However, if there is such a massive disparity is how the game is officiated, I would expect it to be a blow out. So, in that situation, I would just assume that they would start taking a knee first.

Not only are AAU and school football different, the difference between how a basketball game and football game play out is entirely different.


Unless it becomes a clear issue of safety, I can't see any way of it being justified. And I've never seen it, or even heard of it happening, before.
