Would You Wind It?

I can see not winding it. That's cool. But I don't think that's as egregious as a phantom foul.

I've actually had partners tell me before to make up fouls to keep an obviously dominant team from scoring more, and I won't do it. That's just where my personal line is.

I wouldn't wind it. Sometimes the kids don't think about the situation, they are just thinking about scoring a TD whenever possible. It is nice to know the team decided to down it. The coach didn't call the TO, the kid did, but I'm sure the coach made sure they just downed it on the next play.

I'm not throwing phantom fouls, but I might be looking harder if the starters are still in there in a blowout. If the 2nd or 3rd team is in there, I am more apt to let them play. If they score so be it, they've worked just as hard during the week.

It's not my fault that your 1st team can't stop their 2nd team.
