Inadvertant Whistle and Flag on Kickoff (and cussing)

K kicks off to R. As R80 runs across his 30 with the ball, my LJ flags R55 for a block in the back at R's 38. In the moment of excitement (he's a HS kid), he blows his whistle. Upon hearing the whistle I immediately bag the 30 and cuss under my breath. :-)

I enforced the block in the back from the end of the run (R's30) as I believed that R lost their opportunity to replay the down because of the flag on them.

Is this right? And was my enforcement correct (10 yards back from R's 30, where the ball became dead)?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

REPLY: Actually, the IW becomes a moot point because there was (or was going to be) an accepted penalty for R's foul. If by remote chance, K declined the penalty for the IBB foul, R could have taken the ball at their 30, or chosen to replay the down.

Its not completely a moot point in this case, since it caused the ball to become dead behind the spot of the foul.

REPLY: Smiley...you're correct, and you point out a problem with the wording in the Fed rule. It says in so many words that if there's a foul during the play and the penalty is accepted, "...the inadvertent whistle is ignored." It's not ignored! It still kills the play. What's ignored is the procedure for dealing with the IW.

Good point Bob,

Here is what it will be in 2007.

If during a play in which the penalty is accepted the inadvertent whistle procedure is ignored.
