2019 Adair County at Casey County.  Casey's QB breaks a long run and gets caught from behind and the Adair player strips the ball and it bounces through Casey's endzone.  The ref's initially called it a safety.  Coaches and ref's meet out on the field and argue over the call.  The head referee leaves the field and goes to the locker room and retrieves his rule book and comes back out on the field.  Play was halted for 45 minutes (not exaggerating) before the correct ruling was made, which was a touchback.  It was unbelievable to stand there and watch and wait for so long.  I've been around football for nearly 40 years and have never seen anything like that.

That's definitely the craziest thing I've ever heard.  A 45 minute wait to get the call right after a head ref has to go to the locker room to get his rulebook. At least they got it right I guess.

I went back and found the video of the play and call.  The camera man stopped and started the recording several times during the wait.  He captured the ref running off the field and coming back on with his book.  It was a good thing they got it right, but the momentum changed after that.
