That just doesn't make good sense.
It's one of those situations that doesn't happen but once in probably a 40 year career. We had been discussing this play a month or so before it happened on another discussion board and none of us could come to make sense of it based upon our own reading of the rule. I decided to send it in to Rogers Redding and he confirmed that the penalty is declined, no score. Many of you know Rom Gilbert, or have used his website for a rules resource, he sent this situation in to Rogers as a suggested rule change to prevent this from happening.
