However, since this is NFHS play, I'll point out that there is very little instruction given to referees from HS organizations. Most refs get the bulk of their instruction from USSF clinics or those who participate in AYSO. At least that is my experience.
So perhaps this AR simply didn't know to keep his flag up.

Of course, the flag should have stayed up in AYSO or anywhere else, as well.
All three HS associations I've belonged to give significant instruction and followup comments and would not tolerate this kind of error.
But then, if that alleged crew all had whistles and didn't have to depend on someone seeing a flag by someone else; the correct call would have been applied.
