I blew the whistle. Coach explodes.. my partner informs me its a legal play.. I was unsure as I dont remember it ever being in the case book. I havn't had a chance to look it up yet but I thought I'd bring it up to you.
They did this 2 more times in that game. It really messed me up... 
by the way.. this is 6th grade boys. |
if you were on 3 when they ran the double pass play then you should have esaily had a 5 second count if you had not blown the whistle.
On count 3 when the ball is passed to another player still out of bounds, count 3 to 4 when the ball is in the air, count 4/5 when the ball is caught still out of bounds, count 5 when the ball is being passed to a player in bounds = an almost sure 5 seconds violation
typically the ball is passed to someone else out of bounds, then immediately passed back to the original inbounds passer
watch the end line at all times, that is usually where the violation will occur - that or a 5 second count
