Its hard to believe any official would question this call. What if this had occurred in the first quarter and not been flagged, then, the opponent had scored in the second quarter and launched the ball. Therefore, since you did not penalize the first occurrence you cannot justify subsequent occurrences.
Well, aren't we suppose to officiate the game the same all the way from opening kickoff until the R holds the ball up to signal it over?
In order to be consistent you make that call anytime it occurs regardless of the clock or the score.
Sports in high school and college is suppose to be a learning experience and part of that experience is discipline and respect for the rules and authority.
This was a lesson in "tough love."
