Penalty following change of possession

[jimmiececil]

This play actually happend in a high school game last Friday.
A crew of officials in our association got in wrong and marked it 1st and goal at the 24 yard line.

I feel that this is a situation that needs to be addressed. Even though I certainly understand that the RFP had not been blown, the coach calling timeout stopped the action. His subsequent Unsportsmanlike foul was penalized, but I feel that his team also was given an advantage in having the chains reset for 1st and 10.

But, I guess if this is addressed and changed, it will probably open the door for all kinds of potential problems, so the RFP probably makes more sense.

I greatly appreciate each one of your comments and responses.
