Life of a first year ref I guess.
Did a game in Northern Ontario once. Whistle fell out of my mouth just as I went to blow it.

I yelled "Stop". Then signalled the illegal dribble. Everyone laughed. I've also covered for my P before too, in both basketball and football. It's funny when those situations happen.
