BT Mafia Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 OK you refs out there, what is the rule on an inadvertent whistle? On a kickoff in the Southwind/Centennial game, the ball went over the SW returner's head and died around the three yard line. He picked it up, started up field and just as the posse arrived about the nine yard line, the ref suddenly blew the whistle and signaled touch back. Guess he confused the five yard line with the goal line but if so, he should have called the touch back immediately. They initially spotted the ball at the nine but after a discount double check huddle, CHS was required to kick off again and SW ended up with the ball at the 40. I don't recall seeing an inadvertent whistle result in a "do over" but am certainly not a rule book expert. Clarification is appreciated.

TNVolFan2000 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Something similar happened in the Rhea County vs McMinn County, 2 weeks ago. The play was not done over. But those refs had no clue what they were doing so who knows if another set of refs would have replayed the down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOwl Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 They have the option of taking the play or having it replayed. So in this case they chose to replay the down or kickoff in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT Mafia Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Receiving team can take possession at spot of whistle or have a rekick. Obvious what was chosen. Thanks. Centennial had been pooching kicks all night and sucked the deep man up. Crossed them up with a deep kick that was executed perfectly. Rules are rules but it seems unfair to in essence penalize them 30 yards because the ref gagged the call. They won and are moving on so it worked out in the end. Thanks again.

BT Mafia Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Or they shouldn't have given up a 40 yard return on the rekick. Says the guy who obviously wasn't there. After losing the element of surprise because of the ref's screw up, they went back to the pooch kick to avoid SW's speed. Kick was fair caught at the 40.

HS officiating is pretty bad in general. Even worse during the playoffs when crews come in from other areas to ref. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
