Not us. We will get another ball from the ball boy and then they can fetch the other one. We are paid to officiate not be ball chasers.

We never have the luxury of more than one ball per team and usually the ball boys aren't very good. Also, if the ball is on the sideline or near the track, it is a situation where the clock stopped on an OOB or incomplete pass so there is no panic. We hustle and do the best we can. The reality is that we have to chase the balls frequently.
