I have had 2 so far in my, soon to be 4 year career. First one was a fake hand off up the middle. Fullback goes in and is down. I see a brown point and think there's the ball. I start to blow my whistle and the QB blows by me with ball in hand. I could not stop in time. Whistle lasted all of .1 seconds, but long enough to be heard. About 4 defenders had picked up on the QB on the naked bootleg so no major harm done there.
The other was on a kick off in a youth game. Kid dropped to him knees to recover the on-side and I blew my whistle just before he recovered it. He did end up grabbing the ball so no harm there at least.
