I have worked 2 JV HS games and some Pop. I called my first flag football tonight. BTW thanks for all of the advice last year in basketball to those that do both.
Here is the play, DB intercepts the ball in the end zone-his obviously, he comes to a stop on the catch and makes no intent to down or come out of the end zone. I blew my whistle(Felt weird after I blew it), I felt his forward progress came to a stop, he showed no intent on running it out, and my instinct was to blow it dead. After I did this he started to run and made it to midfield, they started hollering that th eplay was not dead, and why I blew my whistle. At that point it is mute, whistle causes the play to become dead-right or wrong.
I loooked in the Florida High School Rules book, and did not find that to be correct as far as my reasoning, not sure, but I did not find that as one of the reasons the ball becomes dead.
Was I right or wrong in flag, or does it not matter at any level.
