BZ, I can't really see how you could have a complaint anyway you did it. You could suspend the count as you did and resume it. You could restart the count at 1. You could have blown the whistle and handed him/her the ball to resume play. The point was just to get the ball back in play. It was a blow out game. It was your discretion. Remember, much of the game is played in tricky area of gray, not just black and white. That's what separates rule book refs and truly good game refs. Now, ENJOY YOUR THANKSGIVING and eat some extra dressing for me!
