On an inadvertant whistle, is it a jumpball??

Nope.
Just a m'bad and ball to team in control.
If no team control exists, then use the arrow.

If you have player and/or team control give it back to the team. If no team control (eg. a try or tip) you have to go with the arrow.

Here's a puzzler for you Gordon. What do you do if you have an IW during a live ball when there's no team control, i.e. the ball is at the disposal of a team for inbounding? You've just handed the ball to the inbounder and you've started your five count. At the count of three, you sneeze and your whistle blows.

There is no team control (or, obviously, player control) at this point yet the ball is live.

Quick, you have 1 second to make your call before Coach Beavis throws his clipboard at you.

I am leaving it here
 

I am leaving it in the hands of whom was holding it....not by the book, but that is what I am doing....call it game management...

Re: I am leaving it here
 

But it's by the book too.
<LI>It is no different than a timeout during a throwin.
<LI>It is no different than giving the ball to the correct team if you had given it to the wrong team (and blew the whistle before it was touched inbounds).

The reason that there was a throwin to begin with still stands through these whistles unless a new infraction occurs.

I'm assuming this is asked tongue in cheek?????? Busting my b#####s
