(With the cavaet that I have a lot of respect for referees, it's a hard job and they generally get it right)
One of my favorite sideline moments this season covering Williston:
I forget what game it was, it was in the last month or so. On third down, the opposing team runs the ball and gets tackled near the market. The ball is spotted, the ref calls it short and signals fourth down. Unfortunately, the chain gang and one of the other officials thought it was a first down and had already set up for the new spot. The opposing coach is yelling like crazy. The officials confer, and the ref signals first down. He walks over to the Williston sideline and says he's sorry, it wasn't a first down, but they're gonna have to call it one because the chains already moved and they don't know exactly where to put them back.
The Williston sideline, to their credit, accepts this pretty calmly.
