ready
I had one where the center snapped the ball as the ready whistle was blowing. Half of his team gave up the play and just stood up. Coach was going ballistic trying to figure out what happened. When I explained that they snapped the ball as the ready whistle was sounding, he asked "what's a ready whistle?"
Also had one where the linesman failed to signal a TD on a goal line play but did stop the clock. I called him and the U together to find out what happened. Then I signalled TD. Coach comes over at half time and says in 35 years he has never seen a white hat signal a touchdown. I replied that I signal every TD and it ain't a TD until I signal it! And of course, 3 plays later his team is intercepted and the ball run back and I was there to signal that one too. Guess he's never been intercepted and run back either.
