Birmingham, Al. -- The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel on Monday approved a recommendation to name Steve Shaw the NCAA secretary-rules editor for football.Shaw, the coordinator of officials for the Southeastern Conference since 2011 and the Sun Belt Conference since 2014, will start a four-year term Sept. 1, 2017. Shaw will succeed Rogers Redding, whose term expires in August.I have a strong passion for the NCAA football playing rules, and I am honored to lead our rules-making process into a very exciting future, Shaw said. This future will certainly contain many challenges, but I believe that our game builds strong character and develops future leaders of America and, therefore, must be protected and enhanced. In addition, our game also must evolve into our new world, and the lens of player safety must be the key focus in all that we do.Shaw was considered one of the top referees in the sport before he was named coordinator of football officials in the SEC. He worked 21 years on the field as an NCAA football referee, including 15 in the SEC and six at the Division II level.Shaw worked the BCS championship game in 2000, when Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University played Florida State University, and also in 2005 when the University of Southern California played the University of Oklahoma.Shaw worked six other BCS bowl games as well, including three Rose Bowls (2003, 2009, 2011), two Fiesta Bowls (2006, 2008) and the 2010 Orange Bowl. He also officiated four SEC Championship Games in 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2006.Shaw also has contributed to college football off the field. He has been the chair of the Collegiate Commissioners Association National Mechanics Committee since 2011. In that role, he led a committee that modernized and completely rewrote the CCA manual; introduced the first set of mechanics for an eight-man officiating crew; and repurposed the manual for all officials to receive eight-, seven- and six-man mechanics in one manual.Shaw also has advocated for advancing the technology used in officiating.He has helped lead enhancements in the use of video to evaluate and develop officials and has pioneered a wireless crew communications system now used by most Football Bowl Subdivision conferences and the NFL. He currently is developing a centralized collaborative instant replay system for the SEC.Steve Shaw is an excellent choice, Redding said. He has demonstrated over the years a good knowledge of the rules and will be an effective addition to the rules-making process. Shaw has served on the NCAA Football Rules Editorial Subcommittee since 2013. He also has served four years on the board of directors for the National Association of Sports Officials, including a stint as chairman in 2011-12.Steve Shaw is a proven and respected leader in college football and has the skills and abilities to excel as secretary-rule editor, said Bob Nielson, chair of the NCAA Football Rules Committee and coach at the University of South Dakota. He has a tremendous understanding of the current issues and trends in our sport that will serve him well in this position. We are excited to have Steve in this role. Jerome Brown Womens Jersey .

Ron Jaworski Womens Jersey . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams.BOSTON – He is the other Bruins stopper. Not the 6-foot-9 all-encompassing mountain that is Zdeno Chara, but the reigning (and likely repeat) Selke Trophy winner and the “underrated” thorn in the Leafs side. “I think hes got to be one of the best two-way forwards in the game,” Tyler Bozak remarked to TSN.ca. “He doesnt do flashy stuff at all, but its like he never makes a wrong play. He always does the right thing. Its hard for him to make mistakes I guess.” “Hes a guy that can hurt you offensively, but at the same time hes going to frustrate you on the defensive end,” added Ryan OByrne, a frequent opponent as a former member of the Montreal Canadiens. Patrice Bergeron doesnt command the seismic attention of Chara, but remains as significant a detriment to the Maple Leafs chances of success in a first round series with Boston, set to continue with Game 2 on Saturday evening at TD Garden. A determined and pesky presence at both ends of the rink, Bergeron is an all-around pain to deal with, because as Bozak points out, “theres not really an aspect of his game that he lacks”. “Hes one of those guys that does everything well really,” Jay McClement, a strong defensive pivot himself, noted. “Hes good at faceoffs and hes always in the conversation for the Selke every year and for good reason.” While he did not score or manage a point in the Bruins dominant Game 1 win on Wednesday night, the 27-year-old draped himself over Torontos top line of Bozak, Phil Kessel, and James van Riemsdyk, Kessel, most prominently, held off the scoreboard for the fifth time in five meetings with Boston this season. “He plays the game honest,” said Bozak, his unit rarely seeing a moment free of Bergeron in the series opener. “Hes always on the right side of the puck. He doesnt get caught in situations where he leaves someone out to dry. I just think hes a really honest player.” “Hes never out of position,” OByrne opined. “He leans on you and he just doesnt give you much room.” Chara has made life unquestionably difficult on Kessel, the Leafs leading scorer who is still without an even-strength goal against his former team, but so too has Bergeron. Not overly imposing physically – actually listedd at about the same size as Bozak – the native of LAncienne-Lorette, Quebec achieves his success defensively with determination and intelligence, instinctively scoping out the play with anticipation and effective positioning.dddddddddddd “I think hockey smarts is probably one of the biggest assets you can have,” said Bozak, “and I think his are right up there with the tops.” “To play that type of role you have to be smart and read the plays,” added McClement. “Hes one of those guys that was probably a very offensive player growing up and then added that two-way part to his game.” Centering Bostons swift top line of Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin, Bergeron is a challenging force on the draw, leading the league at 62.1 percent in 2013, including an almost unbeatable 67 percent mark at home. “He was someone that early in my career I had a really tough time beating and someone that I tried to learn some stuff from,” Bozak mentioned. In his first one-on-one battle with Bergeron – March 9, 2010 – the Leafs top line centre lost 11 of 17 draws, but ended up marginally ahead in their most recent battle, winning 6 of 11 clashes in Game 1. “Positioning, strength, his timings really good,” Bozak remarked of Bergerons faceoff skills. “I think another thing [is] he changes it up a lot, he doesnt just stick [to one move] and do the same thing … so he keeps you guessing and youve got to try and keep him guessing so its [kind] of a mind game.” Its those heady defensive traits and faceoff acumen that additionally make Bergeron one of the leagues most effective penalty killers, the Toronto power-play shut down in 10 of 11 opportunities in the regular season, 1-3 in the series opener, the lone goal ensuing with Bergeron in the box. Factor in his stealth production offensively, 35 points in 44 career games against the Leafs, including a team-leading four points in four meetings this season, and its no wonder that Bergeron is labeled as "underrated" by OByrne. “Hes not a flashy player,” said the Leafs defender, “but hes going to contribute offensively for sure and thats why he maybe goes under the radar a bit. “Hes a key part of that Boston team and maybe is a little underrated.” ' ' '
