Let's not be too hard on the official with the wrong signal. We all have our brain freezes or in my case "senior moments". I gave an incorrect signal for intentional grounding in a district championship game this year and the local message boards had a field day with it. The irony of it is, it bothered me, starting after the next play was run until now, more than anyone could imagine. But, don't be too hard on me, I just finishd my 49th year of officiating. And, I'm not done yet. I had one of the most rewarding years in my career this past year. I worked a full schedule plus an A District Championship, a AA District Championship and a Regional Final in high school. I worked a full schedule for two semi-pro teams, a quarter-final play-off game, a semi-final play-off game and the League championship game plus the League All-Star game. And the highlight of my year, I was inducted into the American Football Association Hall Of Fame in Chicago in June.
