To BktBallRef...I am not the "4th year Ref" on the McGriff board...I have never posted there...I started Officiating in Louisiana in 1976 and continued when I moved here to Michigan.

To Mark...I did blow my whistle...It was almost simultaneous with the lead's as he granted the T/O...I would have normally blown it quicker but given it was his guy to get I waited a split second to give him a chance to do that...When we sounded together, I thought he must have called the violation when in fact the player had told him before the first FT that they wanted a T/O after the last FT.

You are right though...It would have helped matters if I had sounded my whistle immediately.
