Referees that are so strictly by the book that they forget common sense scare me (and coaches).
Footlocker, Chuck is saying the same thing. Chuck's way to handle it is exactly correct, because an inadvertant whistle is exactly what you have. With the IW B retains possesion since they were in possesion when the IW occured. He is also correct that the call can't be overturned by the other official, but that a conference may show the one official the error of his ways
