Give them this one (funny - this came up in a game twice this week!).

A has two guys in motion at the snap. The officials kills the play right after the snap (an error, yes). Before he kills it and rules it a dead ball foul, the snap is fumbled and B recovers. One official (an old vet) says there obviously was a lot of confusion on the part of the offense so you may as well kill the play since you're going to have a foul anyway. I simply pointed out that by killing the play (and going against the rule) he just took the ball away from B. He said, "Oh, I never thought of that."

Here's the way I look at it. If you're gonna do this job, you might as well do it right. If you don't want to do it right - then don't do it.
