Unbelievable, I had this happen last Friday to my HL and I (BJ.)  It's amazing how one little miscommunication can make 2,000+ people think your an idiot.

He's  ^no and I'm  ^good. WHOOPS!!

Do you really think any of the 2000+ people who were at this game, actually thought the official was an idiot?, or just someone who made a momentary, insignificant mistake that he immediately corrected.  Embarrassing-yes, require a round of drinks after the game-yes, something worth the powder to blow it to hell-doubtful.

The odd thing is that the guy with the erroneous signal was the one under the upright that the ball missed.

OK maybe idiot's too strong but at the time I wanted a hole to crawl in to.

I'm guessing that the FJ said "No, no, no", but just gave the wrong signal.  That's about the only way the BJ would know it was no good.

Now look, you know different people think about life in different ways. Lawyers think life is a big court room, doctors probably think life is like a big operation, and bus drivers think life is... er... a big bus I guess, who knows what the hell those guys think. Anyway, I've always thought of life as a big football game...

My guess is the FJ said "No good" and the BJ heard "good."  My FJ and I yell "No" or "yes" to avoid that sort of confusion.

Except it was the FJ who gave the wrong signal!

The Field Judge is the one who makes the call on the wide attempt, so he MUST have said something to the Back Judge. The BJ doesn't really look, and can't make that call.

I think this highlights the importance of backfield officials' communication.

In Canada, a wide field goal can be returned, and points are at risk (rouge), as well as other implications. The backfield officials should talk on who does what (if wide, the official on the other side bails for the goal line; if a blocked play or a fake, who covers what receivers, etc.)

And there should be chatter all the way through:
"snap ... ball is up... MINE .... WIDE ...<SIGNAL> , WIDE, WIDE ..."
"snap ... ball is up ... mine/yours .... " ("GOOD") - mutual signal
"snap ... ball is up ... YOURs ...." (react)
"snap ... GADGET ... GADGET"
"snap ... BLOCKED .... " at which point the officials move  into other coverage.

We refrain from too much chatter.  Kick return players hearing "mine/yours" could get confused.

All you really need is one word: who's making the call if it's down the middle (Ontario uses 1 person to blow and show), or wide/short if the person responsible is obvious.

We just say "Yes, yes, yes" or "no, no" for exactly this sort of reason.  Definitely (as someone said above) a Southwest moment.
