But in your original post you said you had a spot for forward progress. If you have a spot of forward progress, you have aready assumed the player had the ball at the point forward progress is stopped. I still lean towards not blowing the whistle unless I see the ball, but if you are going to be holding a forward progress spot, you might as well kill it and sell the spot since you are no longer staying parallel to the play. In the end though, I think not blowing the whistle is a heck of a lot easier to explain to coaches and fellow officials "I could not see the ball" than a potential IW. If you are standing there with a FP spot and the ball pops out, what do you do then? Wouldn't the A coach have just a big of a beef if you gave B the ball after a wing held a FP spot?
