Almost had the Bigfoot of Officiating
 

Fourth and ten for A at its own 5. B coach calls time out with 30 seconds in the half. A punts short. B player signals for a fair catch. Ball hits the ground simultaneous to the catch. B coach says he wants to free kick. After we get over the shock that this coach actually knew ther rules we get together and rule that he did not complete the fair catch. Thus no free kick. Coach did not even complain. We were that close to seeing it. Anyone actually seen this Bigfoot.

The umpire on my varsity crew told us that he had one in a JV game a couple weeks ago. The coach had told the crew prior to the game that if he had the chance, he was going to try it. Sure enough, about 10 seconds left in the first half, had a punt and a fair catch around K's 40. R decided to free kick, and they nailed it.

First one I've even heard a first-hand account of.
