1) The Lack of Sufficient Action Rule was deleted from the rules years ago.
2) Don Fowler, a mentor of mine and a member of the OhioHSAA Officials Hall of Fame, had the following philosophy: "You have nothing until you have something." In this case we have nothing.

I might say loud enough for the players near the ball that the ball is Live, but that is far as I would go.
