I had the follow-on game...
Same situation happened in my game...
I however, gave the ball to the correct team that played good defense...
Lot's of screaming over that one...
It's almost as if someone was educating the fans/players/coaches incorrectly. Everyone seemed to want me to give the ballback to the idiot that stood out-of-bounds and let the ball hit him.
Where's the love... I mean consistency, brother?
You should have gotten the call correct, for my sake and that of your fellow officials.
