Bob, did anyone explain to the R that the player knocked it down instead of intercepting it so they would get it at the 40 instead of the one???? I hope someone did and the white hat was just too stubborn to change his mind. In a case like that the whole crew needs to talk and I would hope the R would be so stubborn to go 1 against 4 or 5.

I was in my rookie year and it was a JV game. All the officials on the crew were new except for the WH. A couple of us, who had played football in our younger years, tried to explain to the WH the strategy of batting the ball to the ground but he wouldn't listen. He insisted that this was unsportsmanslike in high school football. I wounder what he would have thought of the "unsportsmanlike" strategy of taking a knee to run out the clock?
Anyway, that was his last game as a WH.

How did he justify placing the ball at the 1???
