Serious T-day indigestion is at stake.
blindzebra,
I would have continued the count so I was not rewarding a stoopid player with the advantage. That's an intent of the rule, I think, to deny a team from using up time [while leading]. The game clock was ticking, wasn't it? The losing team didn't like that, did they?

QED, no indigestion.

I agree with you Mick, and I haven't had any snow yet. But I did lose one of those USB memory stick thingies...

Keep counting, give the ball to the other team when you get to 5. Or as Chuck said hit the whistle & restart.

Then neither coach can b1tch (except at their players) and indigestion is avoided.
