Team A fakes a dive play up the middle and a pile of players lands at the U's feet. He yells, "it's over, play is dead, it's over!"

Meanwhile, QB pitches the ball to another back who runs around the outside and scores. The only people who stopped were those players who thought the ball was handed to the first back.

How do you handle this?
discipline, I tell myself before everygame, do not blow whistle until I see player down with ball. I constantly do this, or run it through my mind. In your scenario, the ball is live, no whistle, play is live. I guess as a WH, you talk to your U, and take what butt chewing from the HC.
