The people on team B who are officials are telling you what the rules are...no more/no less. You had an inadvertent whistle with neither team in control. You now have to go to the arrow to determine possession. And seeing that the ball is dead, you can now also grant a TO request if one is made. What you couldn't do (and what got you into trouble trying to do) was grant an illegal TO request. And by rule you can't grant that illegal TO request either before or after your IW.
Don't compound your screw-up by screwing up another one. |
There are very few times I disagree with you, but this would be one of them. Check out 5.8.3 Sit (E).
If jdmara was using NCAA-W rules, the players would be correct. Under NFHS rules, jdmra handled it correctly.
