intentional grounding in end zone

Yankeesfan,

I know which play you are asking about and it has been determined by the state that the correct call was made. Whether the penalty was accepted or declined the result would be the same....safety. There is still plenty of dispute concerning when the call was made. There is a very grey area as to when a previous call can be reversed because there is nothing in the rules that spells it out. The rules only dictate how long a coach has to ask for a conference.

My guess would be that it has to be changed before the ball becomes live again but there is no rule that says that. But I'll bet there will be next year.
