Now that's a stretch. Nevermind that it was not B's actions, but the official's actions that delayed the game... if you want to blame the official's error on Team B and penalize them I guess that's your choice, even if not supported by rule, clinic, caseplay, or training film.
"The officials mistake does not excuse the mistake by Team B."
Interesting take, since the "mistake" by team B is not a penalizable one.
"The actual game situation would dictate whether I threw my flag or not..." - instead of the rulebook, of course. Good call.
And the Non-Sequitur Award goes to your mention of IW, as a completely irrelevant red herring.
