Bob,
Even some of us older ones blow them at weird times too.
My first game at back judge in 4 years was 4 weeks ago. After the first series, K punts. R Signals for a fair catch, with the ball still some 30 feet in the air. My pea brain says, "Son, if you aren't going to do anything with it, I will just blow it dead now." And I did. Everyone there thought I had lost my mind. Including me. We handled the inadvertent whistle correctly, and the game flowed very well from there. But, I am sure to hear about this one for many years to come.
