re: Any Referees? Question about "Forward Progress"

While I havent been an official, I have coached at the LHSAA 5A level before...
forward progress is a pure judgement call by the official based on the defense having full control of the ball carrier and no other yardage can be gained.
Its mostly to maintain player safety so that a defense doesnt hold up a ball carrier in order to continue to hit him or strip the ball...
Yesterday, the side judge had marked his forward progress before Reid stripped the ball but he did not blow the whistle....that is just them being human. The officials know the call they see, they juts sometimes hold the whistle.
I agree that if he would have broken loose of the tackle prior to the whistle, he may have been allowed to gain yardage.

So I suppose that the call on the fumble could be correct, then.
What about the punt call?

I have a question about the spot of the ball...
Lets say the ball carrier is running out of bounds towards the 1st down marker and dives out of bounds before he and the ball cross the 1st down line but he does not touch out of bounds until he and the ball are past the first down marker.
the ball left in bounds territory at the 34... 1st down is at 35... When he touched out of bounds the ball was at the 36. What result?
