One has to use some reasonable judgment here. There is
NO WAY that I'm penalizing a team which is down by 25 for this. I would either just allow the clock to run while they fetch the ball or I might sound the whistle to stop the clock and then allow the team to retrieve it. Either way, I'm not starting the 5-second count due to the blow out situation and I'm certainly not issuing a delay warning on the throwing team
EVER!!!
