Pull The Head Out!

GV about three weeks ago. I'm tossing at the beginning of the game, we have a new ref and this will be his first 3man varsity contest. I toss and the ball is immediately tied up just outside the circle. Neither partner whistles the held ball, so I quickly put my whistle in my mouth and blow. Show two thumbs up and say let's jump it up again. Original jumpers get back in position and I toss again, game gets started. During a timeout in the first quarter I hear a "psst" behind me, look over and see my friend, state tournament ref. I walk over and he quietly asks me if I know what I did wrong. I smile and say you mean the 5 fouls I've missed so far? He says no, on the second toss you blew it! Right then it hit me, *&^&* *(&(&*( *&*(&)(* I was supposed to have the two players that tied the ball up jump the second time! Poop!!! I've read about that situation on here about 10 times and passed the test question on this each time, but the first time it happens to me in a game do I remember? Dang that can ruin your day!
