This thread brings up a thought. I was at a Varsity boys game a couple weeks ago just to watch the game. About a minute into the game at a dead ball, the officials changed the game ball. I talked with them later and they said that they had started the game with a girls ball, and then noticed the mistake and switched the ball. They continuted play from that point. One of the coaches made a fuss that they should restart the game because of the error, but the officials continued on from that point with the proper ball. Setting aside that the referee shouldn't have let this happen, did they do the correct thing by continuing on from that point?
