I'll add my .02 cents worth only because I love to quote a phrase I learned a a number of years ago.
"the best thing that can happen to an official who blows an IW is for there to be a foul and the penalty is accepted, the whistle is ignored".
Note this phrase applies to the official, but not necessarily to a specific team. He most certainly will make one of the teams unhappy.
Specficially in the case of an IW during a scrimmage kick and there is a foul by team-R before the kick ends.
Fact... decline the penalty and K will re-kick
Fact... PSK does not apply on this play
Fact... accept the penalty and enforce the the yardage against team-R from the previous spot.
Fact... Team-K may just have made a first down as a result.
Fact... Team-Rs coach is going to be ticked off.
commit this to memory, better yet don't blow the whistle
