No Whistle on FG

[john_faz]

What mechanic do you use when a FG is no good and the ball lands in the endzome or past the end line? Do you signal no good first and then the touchback signal? Or do you just signal no good for the FG and then head to the 20 yard line?

If it lands short of the goal line (not in the end zone), we come out and officiate.
If it lands short of the end line (in the endzone), we give the touchback signal.
If it crosses the end line in flight, we give the "no good" signal.

Works for us.

Sounds right. I don't recall reading this anywhere.

In Illinois you are supposed to do both. Give the "No Good" signal then give the TB signal. And that would be the calling official that gives both, not both officials.
