REPLY: First thing I would do is kill the official who acknowledged the offense's coach and might have said anything to the defense that intimated that they should 'let up' in any way. The half/game goes till the clock reads 0:00 and each team has a right to play as they see fit and an obligation protect themselves. When this time of the game arrives, the officials must close on the dead ball spot quickly when the ball becomes dead and flag any contact that comes after the ball becomes dead. Likewise, be extremely diligent about extraneous live ball action.
