1. All officials in my association are supposed to have two flags. I doubt all of them do.

2) I have used the flag in my back pocket twice. The first time I called a foul during a down, then had to flag a coach mouthing off afterward. The second time a B player committed a personal foul, then the A player retaliated. Both occurred this past season, my second year officiating.

So, it is rare, but it happens.
