Kalle
nailed it , both a
and as a
coach !
I first took B's captain over to A's and began to explain...
A's captain stopped me and said: "Ref, my head's about to explode, can we ask coach?"
Both captains and I go over to A's coach, there I explained : "If you accept their penalty, we will tack on yours and give them an untimed down from your 20. If you decline theirs, your penalty will be tacked on to the 2nd half kickoff. "
A's coach then asked : "Do they have a good field goal kicker
?"
The game was still scoreless, and I responded : "I don't know, but they did kick the opening kickoff into the end zone..." I wanted to ask why he called a pass play deep in his own territory with 10 seconds left
;but decided
not.
A's coach declined B's penalty.
B's coach then asked : "Why don't we get an untimed down
?
I responded : "Because THEY don't want you to."
B's coach responded ; "Oh."
......
AND THE BAND PLAYED ON
PS : B WON THE GAME.
