Well, here's what happened. On the very next play A passed for a 20 yard gain due to the fact that the safety was pulled by our backjudge. Then the next play was a run where the running back came up limping after being tackled. The entire defense was telling the backjudge to pull him out of the game because he was limping. The backjudge was about to pull a flag for unsportmanlike conduct on the defense, but our umpire look at him and said "put that flag back in your pocket now" At the time he was correct...
Thanks for your posts. I think that if a player is injured you have a responsibility to use your judgement to get him off the field..The key being your judgement.
