You make the call

A ball 3/8 at their 22. Incomplete pass, and DPI in B. 15 yard mark off and the LTG has been reached. Penalty is marked off, chains reset, and prior to the RFP, a 15 yard USC on A’s coach. 
Down and distance for the next play please?

If the foul occurs prior to the ball being ready for play on 1st down for the new series, it’s going to be 1st and 10 after enforcement. If after the ready, it’s 1st & 25.

“When a new series of downs is awarded, the penalties for all fouls (including nonplayer and unsportsmanlike) committed prior to the ready-for-play shall be administered before the line to gain is established.” 5-3-1.

We had this happen Friday night, unusual scenario, I thought I’d throw it out for all the aspiring officials here.

Oops! Didn’t mean to step on your question. I should have known this one was too easy for you. My bad.

Oddly enough, neither coach questioned the down and distance after we marked it off. And to be perfectly honest, I couldn’t understand why an assistant coach would be assessed a USC after getting a DPI and a first down.

That's what I was wondering also. Why was he?

Inquiring minds want to know. May be a good story here.

No good story, I think my wing had just heard enough from the assistant.

That is why I liked being in the pressbox as an assistant. 😄
I did get a warning one time though while up there. 😄

This sounds like something that might happen to me. I got a warning from one of our fans, I think he thought a football game was the library. My older kids used to call me Mr. Bullhorn.........

Only had this scenario happen once in my career.  And the offending team knew EXACTLY why it was 1st and 25.  

It got quiet as HE double hockey sticks from then on!

We had a similar situation Friday night. Team A gains a first down, after the play, taunting on A. Team B's coach wanted to know why it wasn't 1st and 25.
