Just wondering how the rest handle this. Thanks.
How to handle this is always part of my pre-game. Keep in mind, Washington is a two-person crew state so this applies to my "two officials" pregame. If we each have a fist, trail yields to the lead (since that's who the play was coming to). If we don't have the same thing (one has on open hand and the other has a fist or the whistles were not totally simultaneous), we're going to come together and very quickly and decisively decide which came first.
