Couple of Questions....

Don't forget #5: Roughing the kicker

#1 actually happened in a game I saw:

Team A is driving down the field late in the game near mid field. 4th and 9 and they throw a pass short of the sticks and Team B is called for a late hit.

The coaches and crowd was incredibly confused when they gave Team B the ball, then marked off the 15 yd penalty. haha! I'm not a football official, but from lurking on the football board for a while, I knew the call was correct.

Thanks for all the replies... I know I am no rules guru, but even these seemed pretty basic to me. The second one has me still riled as the coach told the white hat that was the rule and the white hat backed him up... I have that team next week and will be clarifying the rule for the coach about who may ask for a timeout.
