Coach-Ref Conference Time Frame

[Reffing Rev.]

Down & Distance not significant.

B1 enters the neutral zone and retreats prior to the snap with no whistle or flag from the L.

A is tackled for no gain at which point the A coach requests a timeout to confer with the R about a misapplication of the rule.

Obviously a rule was misapplied. I corrected it. Then about 2 hours later I thought...since there was a legal snap after the action in question, was it too late to correct?
