Mike,
I commend the league for having teams not running up the score, but if that was the case in this play someone forgot about the sportsmanship part. Maybe Mr head coach should have been hit with an UC flag.
Regardless, there are other ways. While we have no such league rule for JV or modified games, I recall where a local PW league allowed the team behind to keep the ball once a point differential was reached. They kept the ball no matter what. The chains were bascially removed from the sidelines, any turnover was killed and the team behind retained possession at the previous spot. I'm not sure when the rule "kicked in" as it might have been at the start of the second half, don't really remember.
I think regular play was resumed once the point differential was reduced by 14 points, again, I'm not 100% sure anymore.
As far as a crew signal, we have none. When our Ref knows, he kills the play when it's over by rule. The rest of us officiate as we would normally. we get very vocal once we see what has just happened.
