Both officials went to the table and bought the coaches over as if
to ask them what to do? Please know that Team A had already scored
4 points prior to coming to the realization. I ask my self How would I
have handled this. Hell, I was not sure. Can anyone help?
Thanks alot, Angel.

The question I have is how can you be critical of the JV officials who let this happen, when you, the varsity official, do not know the solution?

I had a similar question.

1. How can you "not believe it?" It happens all the time.
~~2. How does a varsity official not know how to resolve this?~~

1 - All the time? Maybe in YOUR games

I don't recall ever seeing this happen.
2 - Ideally each varsity official would know the book inside and out. But we all know that isn't the case. So why give her crap for making an effort to learn?

...Angel is a "her"?

I pictured some dude with gang tats on his neck...

Well around these parts, Angel is usually a girls name. I apologize to Angel if I assumed incorrectly.

The crap is not coming here to get the right answer. The crap was (rightfully) directed at him/her crapping on the JV officials.

I just went back and re-read the OP. I see where you're coming from. The first time through I read only for content, not attitude. I humbly withdraw my attitude
