Play situation.

I saw this play on film.

3rd and goal from the five. Play starts, sweep to the right. in midplay a whistle sounds. All players (including the runner) on the left side stop for sewveral seconds. The running back then runs into the endzone for a score. Crew meets and determines that none of them had a whistle. What if anything do we do.

More than likely it was a band director who blew his whistle by mistake.

If your answer is to do nothing, what is to prevent the disgruntled losing coach in this situation from planting a whistle with a friend in the stadium to be used at an advantageous time.
