I am a new official and am trying to understand the subtleties of the rules so please be patient.
I would cite 2-10-1. Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertantly set aside and results in:
d. Erroneously counting or canceling a score.
The rule I thought the official set aside was 7-1-2d. The ball is out of bounds when it touches or is touched by:
d. The Ceiling, overhead equipment, or supports.
Because the situation says the official "allows play to continue" I thought it meant he/she saw the ball contact the wire and inadvertantly set aside 7-1-2d. Perhaps I am reading too much into the question but why would the official allow play to continue?
