Interesting and weird

[dchrista]

I'm working a High School JV game and the offense is running a sweep to the visitors side. The ball pops loose in front of the bench, and the mad scramble begins, resulting with a player from each side possessing the ball. I reward the ball back to the offense, by rule, and the visiting team assistant coach is somewhat upset by my call and says, "What about the alternate possession rule?" I look at him and say..."If you can find me a possession arrow, then we'll discuss." The head coach quickly turns to his assistant and there is silence, and the game goes on.
