He stood there a bit and when he tried to hand it to the ref, it was finally blown dead.
Usually if you stand there awhile, they catch on but, if they don't, you can legally blow it dead and the run ends there.

LDLJ,
What rule do you apply to legally blow it dead? I don't see anything in the NFHS rules that cover this situation.
