2)the player new to football got mixed up
3)He discovered and attempted to fix the error
4)And apologized for it

Why are you obsessed with this? It doesn’t offset failure to officiate. That’s the business of officiating. If games could be played without a single rule infraction or mistake there would be no officials. By your logic my team commits one penalty in a game, my player gets ejected for jumping offside and I can’t object because I didn’t coach him well enough to not jump offside? It is hard to withstand your absurdity. I hope you realize you are doing it.
Obsessed? You are going on and on and on about one flag. Who freaking cares?

At the end of the day, it's not our fault if the snap happens with 12. We count players, yes. If we don't, though, it's not our fault one of the teams can't count to 12. There's a reason playing with 12 has its very own little rule attached to it.

It is impossible to withstand your idiocy. This is why I stick with wearing the white hat on Friday nights and leave Saturday mornings to the dad-wanna-be coaches and the poor saps that feel they need the money so badly they need to listen to you in order to get it. (And BTW, it's likely why you don't get decent officials who would stop this before the snap. I did the whole Saturday youth thing for a while and after throwing at least 5-6 USC flags on coaches per week for running onto the field to argue calls I gave it up. I didn't even make it through one season. And I have a crew on the WIAA playoff list.)
