Accepted penalty prior to I.W.
Yes, if the penalty is accepted for a foul prior to the inadvertent whistle, you enforce the penalty and ignore the I.W.
Reminds me of my first year officiating. I think it was my first flag in a J.V. game. Working back judge, offense is on a long run towards the endzone, teammate clips an opponent, me throw flag and blow whistle while the play is in progress, me big-time red-face...
The coach asked me why I blew my whistle but he smiled because he knew the play would be called back anyway.
