Horns, whistles, guns, etc. should not sound until the play is over.

Again, coaches should teach their players that a whistle ends the play, not the horn, etc.

I found two stories about this play. The losing coach admitted he should have told his player to run out of the end zone.

But that winning player was sharp to jump on the ball.

It was also reported the referee gave the safety signal before the player dropped the ball.
