The original post offers an interesting question to me.
If BU grants time while the ball is still rolling and then the ball rolls into dead ball territory, are we awarding any base(s) for the overthrow into dead ball territory? Can it be a DBT award if time was already granted BEFORE the ball went into DBT. I would like to hear the opinions on this.
( Hope this is not considered thread hijacking since it WAS the poster's question ).

In answer to the original post, . . . . .
yes, you granted time too soon. I always look around and evaluate the capability of an additional play to occur before granting time to a runner who wants to brush off the dirt from the slide, adjust clothing, etc. Just because they request it, does not mean we have to grant it.
