Turning off in gear

[marauder11]

Just a quick question. I am no mechanic and have no idea of the actual workings of the outboard motor. I have a 2001 135 HP with a VRO. Wife was pulling oldest on the knee board. I was in the water helping her start off as it was her first time. When the kid fell off the wife turned boat off in gear when retrieving the kid . When we went to leave after that the boat stalled out three times while trying to hard accelerate. I let the boat idle for awhile and then did a real slow troll. I then punched it and everything was normal. Tested over a dozen times from dead start to full throttle and no issues.
I guess what i am asking is when turned off in gear there would be no spark but would the position of the throttle and the motor slowing down continue to put oil and gas into the motor? My best guess was there was just some extra oil in there maybe .

Any ideas

Thanks

Was there a hard wake that shot up the exhaust when she killed it? Thats what it sounds like, dont do that anymore.

Not sure to be honest as i said i was in the water a fair ways away closer to shore. I am even afraid to ask what your thinking could have happened. It did fire up all times easy and right away from what i was told.

Didn't hurt a thing. Likely just flooded it...
