Not sure when or where I first read this, but "the best thing that can happen to an official who blows his whistle prematurely is for there to be a foul on the play and the penalty is accepted; for then, the whistle is ignored (4-2-3)".
I know where you can find this principle now, you can find it in the Study Guide to NFHS Football Rules by Redding and Demetriou. I'll bet I read it in Referee Magazine years ago in some article By George and I've committed it to memory since then.
Knowing this, take a shot at answering your own question.
