have you ever seen this?

Thomas Walker's head coach was tossed from the game last night for chest-bumping one of the officials. He walked all the way out to the two yard line in the center of the field to do it! Are the players a reflection of the coach? TW was flagged several times for late hits and face-mask penalties. I was quite surprised by that.

Personally it was evident to me that the officials wanted that game to go to RC. It was the worse called game I have ever seen in high school. There was two face-mask penalities - one for 15 and one for five and the late hit calls were very questionable. I guess the coach had just took about all he could stand and let it be known.

Go back and watch the game film. You'll find the officials could have called a lot more on TW if they had seen it, and didn't one of TW's players get ejected as well?. Some of TW's own players were in their teammates' face over those unnecessary hits.
TW flat outplayed the Cove when it counted, that's the bottom line. The coach's ejection got the TW boys fired up, so the calls probably worked in their favor. But if I saw that kind of activity out of my school's coach and/or players, quite frankly I'd be just a little embarassed.

I disagree with you. Why did the officials start the game by bluffing to throw the flag on the RC player then start throwing it against TW? If you are going to call the game, call it both ways. Don't bluff.

As I said, watch the film and try to do it with an unbiased attitude. The tossed player and tossed coach just solidifies my point as proof indeed.

I've seen RC shafted by the officials all the way from the local level to the state, but I've never seen a RC coach go off like that.

A lot of people have quality people working their chains and they do a good job for the most part. On the other hand, you have some that are less than stellar. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
