I actually had this happen in a sub-varsity game where I was referee. 3rd and 5 and B jumps offside. The linemen gives me the foul and I ask him where his tape is. He looks at me and says tape? I told him to go back and see which side of the tape the down marker is. He says to me, I always what that tape was used for.
As a varsity HL, I am always aware if it is 5 yards to go if we are just less or just more than 5 yards.
