Foul by kicking team on onside kick

(1/5) > >>

HoustonUmp:
Late 3rd qtr in Allen v Lake Travis game, LT executed a successful onside kick. There was an illegal block before the ball went 10 yards, and a flag was thrown.  LT recovers the kick beyond the 10 yard mark.  Ruling on field:  illegal block on kicking team, 5 yards from spot of foul, Allen's ball 1st and 10.  OOOPS!   It really hurts when Allen goes down and scores a touchdown.

Clear Lake ref:
That was really bad. Especially since coach was arguing correctly and umpire gave him a stfu look.

BankerRef:
Basic penalty enforcement.  Inconceivable that not a single member of the crew could jump in and get that fixed.

Great pickup by the FJ ruined by poor administration.

TxBJ:
Agree with all of you. My phone started getting texts right away from fellow officials.

stormref99:
How can the R just announce "5 yard penalty, and Allen gets the ball" when the foul occurred during the free kick and Lake Travis ended up possessing the ball with no illegal touching. Horrible enforcement. Re-kick it my man
