Does TD signal equal a whistle?
« on: October 21, 2010, 10:00:48 PM »
Pass thrown to end zone.  Intercepted by B who returns ball out of the end zone 100 yds for a touchdown. When the covering official saw possession of the pass, he signals TD thinking it was A who caught the ball.  Whistle never blows. Is this considered an IW?

I would say yes...4-1-2-b
ARTICLE 2. a. A live ball becomes a dead ball as provided in the rules or when an official sounds his whistle (even though inadvertently) or otherwise
signals the ball dead (A.R. 4-2-1-II and A.R. 4-2-4-I).

I'm glad the FED rule only says "when an official blows his whistle inadvertently"...

I was always told there is no such thing as an inadvertent whistle you meant to blow the durn thing, just at the wrong time.

This came up in a post-game yesterday: the only time a whistle kills the play is when it shouldn't.

He was not signaling touchdown.  He was just stretching.  Touchdown B.

I think the mechanics manual instructs you to yawn after the signal, as to prove you were just stretching.
