Now I ask all of you: What would you do, and what would your respective rulebooks allow you to do in that same situation..?

Do you allow the offense to try the play again..? What if the defense had blocked the first kick and returned it for a TD..?

In this instance, the first kick was not only short, but wide left as well... Does that make a difference..? Also, in this case, the first kick was practically unmakable for this kicker due to the distance... (You could say that the HC agreed with this statement since he only called out the FG team after the 5 yard penalty was announced...) Does that make a difference..?

I'm of the opinion (for NFHS) that the offense should not be allowed a replay... Even though the officials screwed up,:
1) There's no specific provision in the rulebook for correcting spot mistakes (other than the "referee can wing it if he has to" provision), and
2) There's too many possibilities to account for, and I think you have to be consistent across all possibilities...

How would you guys handle it..?
