Peace

I think I get it... he ORIGINALLY thought he was ruling an incomplete pass, but then they reviewed it, and he realized it SHOULD have been a fumble, so that changed his whistle for the incomplete pass into an IW, and changed the spot.

Sorry, I'm like 4 days behind.

JRut- enjoyed working basketball last year, hope we get to do it again in the future... (We had a great game at a D2 school where we nailed a few calls at the end. I had the one with :01 left against the home team...)

Correct. That's how I've looked at it as well. This wasn't your typical IW where an official created the situation by being too quick on his whistle. It only became an IW because of what happened in replay. A similar play in the HS game would be if the LJ came in to tell the R the ball actually went backwards and he got it wrong. In that case the result would also be an IW.

An interesting day to say the least.
