[sarcasm] How did he expect to get away with such obvious cheating? He clearly got far too big of an advantage for the refs to let him get away with it. [/sarcasm]
I have not seen a ref ever make that call, before or since.
Edit: Wow, sorry. I just realized how far off-topic this is. My apologies.
this is one that drives me crazy. If they aren't going to enforce the rule, why not just have the players check the ball to the other team to start the clock.
