Really? I see it happen at leats 3 or 4 times a year in my games. And I can count on about 2 fingers how many of the 100 or so coaches I work with who know the rule.

I also tuck a spare whistle in my back pocket just in case.

This is my 16th year of officiating, I have never had the play happen.

I used to be in the "it's a B/C violation" crowd, but I have evolved over the years.

Never had this play happened like that either. Never seen it as a clinician or watching other officials. That is a lot of games. I have only heard people want to discuss the play (in person) and have to tell them why the ruling is silly, but never seen it happen in any game I have ever worked or watched.

Great, now it is going to happen.
