I had two "almosts" that would have been embarrasing as heck. The same exact play KWH posted I had 3 weeks ago but luckily was I was about to blow the whistle I realized at the last microsecond what the heck I was doing. If it had been a lanyard whistle I would have certainly blown it.
2 - at a homecoming game the QB faked a handoff at the 1-yard line and the linebacker met him head on. If he had penetrated the goal I would have signaled TD and blown the whistle in front of 2,000 people. The QB was rolling right and eventually tossed a game tying TD on the play. I thought how humiliated I would be if I had blown that.
Lessons learned....I need to practice what I (and most of you) preach - see the ball!
