Usually a whistle means ball is ready for play (after a TO)...not excactly true in this case, since the team still has 15 seconds left of their TO.
It's no wonder the "huddles start breaking when they hear the whistle"...but, hasn't your crew just shorted the team the benefit of a full TO?
I guess if your whole association is doing it this way...it's consistent.
But, maybe the teams in your association are going to get spoiled with these whisltes and are getting set up for failure when they go outside of your service area.
Just a thought. |
Interesting, this question came up at our association meeting and the interpretation we were told is that coaches should be breaking the huddle at 15 seconds and play will resume at the second horn. I am kind of torn on the issue as I feel as long as the huddle is breaking at the second horn and team s are moving to their spots, that is good for me. They get to use their full time and the game gets back under way quickly.
