First HS game (LA CITY, "B"), working LJ, keeping time on huddle. Every time visitors have the ball, I hear, "Too much time", from the home bench. Finally there's a dead ball near the home bench. As soon as the ball became dead, an assistant coach starts counting, "Thousand one, thousand two..." Next dead ball is in front of bench again. I turn my head and say, "Coach". "Yes". "See the guy in the white hat"? "Yes". "When he does this (I give 'chopping' sign), I do this (simulate starting stop watch)". "OH".
Same game, same team. Pass play. WR covers TE, goes downfield. I flag for ineligible downfield. Next pass play, ditto. Third time, I'm in front of their bench (near end of 1st half). "Coach, number XX is covering your tight end". "Thanks". Home team takes kickoff, ball dead near home bench. First play from scrimmage, pass. Three guesses, first two don't count.
