Fumbles in a pile - don't blow the whistle until you see a ball. Happens every year in youth ball - pile of kids, referee finally blows the whistle, and oops! Look, Little Johnny has the ball way over there, 20 yards away on a breakaway.

That and this:

Run up the middle is stopped, RB goes down. Whistle and charge in and OOPS! QB still has the ball, or WR is coming your way with it.

NO BALL, NO WHISTLE. Especially for rookie officials.
