"The choking incident happen in a pile. Things happen in a pile. It is not unusual for things to go on in a pile and the officials not see it. It was like that when I played football, it is like that now that I officiate it." --RUT[/B][/QUOTE]
I agree with Ed.
This was not the typical "in the pile, stuff happens" behavior. Football is a violent game, but it does not give one the freedom to commit such a violent act.
Rut, surely you are not suggesting that intentionally choking a player is one of those things that just "happens" in a pile, are you? A pile does not provide someone with a license to assault a person.
This action emphasizes the importance of good dead ball officiating to another level. Keep that head on a swivel and eyes open AFTER THE WHISTLE!
