The coach inadvertently bailed the crew out on that one. 

I don't know for sure if this crew does, but if you routinely work much sub varsity with rookie and/or new officials you will certainly need to know how to handle all sorts of IW situations.

Why would the U who is not even in frame he's so far away even be thinking about a whistle?

No no Mike. It was the B. I'll be enjoying a steak dinner from him too.  eAt&

A B would never do that.  It was probably not a regular B but just some lesser position guy thrown in there.

36 years.  It just goes to show that it can happen to anyone. I didn't know there was a lesser position than a B.   B's are like condoms, there handy when you need them but most of the time they're just in the way. Have a great day Mike.  LOL  LOL

Cut the B's some slack. Without them, someone else would have to chase the balls after those long incomplete passes.

That's a pretty good one there , I don't care who you are.   And to add to that comparison, when we fail, it usually means DISASTER!

What about the R giving the coach an option?  We former B's must unite!!!!   FlAg1

My point EXACTLY!!!  Sure the IW was bad, but it was not near as bad as the direction the R was going and would have went had it not been for the coach bailing him out.

I tell my B that he's like the trauma surgeon of the crew - we don't need him all the time, but when we do need him, we REALLY need him.
