Here is A thought on the correct call: "1st and 10 for A at B's 23. After the box is set, wind it." That is my quick face value answer.
BUT, wait a second a few more thoughts creep into mind on this single play...
you mention nothing about the status of the game clock. Did time in the quarter expire during the play? That makes a difference.
???????A throws an interception to B. Where? At the 10? At the 30? Is the bean bag there?
B returns ball to B23 (gaining yardage or losing yardage?) Eyes open for those blocks in the back and clips.
Then fumbles. Piling on? Or did the ball squirt out?
Which direction did he fumble? Illegal forward Pass?
A recovers. Where? The 30? The 23? The 10? Is the bean bag there? Is A down? or do we still have a live ball? Did B tackle him? Did he go out of bounds? Did he just take a knee?
There were no penalties on the play. OR none that were called or observed? Which of the coaches WASN'T on the field for that play?
Are all the guys downfield eligible? Did that hand brush across the face mask, or did the hand grab? Why is the coach asking me "Didn't you see that obvious holding?"
Get the box set because we have a new series of downs. I am waving to stop the clock at the end of this play aren't I? The clock is or is not stopped like I want. Better make sure I hold the spot. Make sure to swivel the head for the dead ball fouls. Recover the beanbags. Get the ball set. Signal to the other officials the status of play.
After that HALF second, a whole new crop of thoughts creep in?
