This happened to me last fall and I'm still hearing about it. I only officiate basketball because of my job situation that is the only time I have free time. Anyway, my BB partners officiate the J.V. and Jr. Hi. football games at the local school. They asked me to help out and since it was October, I had free time. Sure enough the first call was on a sweep and there was a face mask down field. I threw my flag and immediately blew the whistle as I would if there was a foul. I don't think I raised a fist or pointed at the player. Luckily, the player did get tackled as I blew my whistle or I would have really felt stupid. We made something up like the player stepped out of bounds. I didn't make that same mistake again.
