I read stuff on the other forum about the re-kick. Apparently there was a inadvertant whistle blown by the covering official. During a kick off, you have the back judge with the kickers, the line judge on the 50 with the receivers, the linesman, he's on the 30 chain side, the umpire is on the 20 press box side and the R is on or near the goal line on the chain side.

Which side was the ball kicked? You should have two officials boxing in the play on either side. Things like this happen during games, that is why they have a rule to fit the mistake, even by officials.

It sound that one person blew the whistle too early and the other official came into correct the mistake, but, you have to re-kick.
