Over officious, so bad call.

A school board administrator said that the player is required to give the ball to an official right away. But players all the time leave the ball to the ground after they get in. But no flag.

It's his bad reasoning and escape to justify penalizing this act without actually saying giving praise to God shouldn't be done.
