Which is why I blast it right away to stop the play.
Sigh....TrollBoy strikes again with more completely misleading and completely wrong statements.

From the NFHS OFFICIALS MANUAL- If the toss is poor, any of the officials shall sound the whistle immediately, signal the clock should not start and order a rejump". NCAA uses the exact same mechanic.

The only one thinking like you is you. Real officials know what the proper procedures and mechanics to follow are.
