Patton,
I didn't intend that to be insulting...I believe that everyone does try to do the best he can in every situation, and therein lies the accountability.
seanireland,
Are you sure you didn't miss something? And what took you so long to rule? Half second...come on...you know that we coaches need rulings quicker. (that is sarcasm for anyone that is having a hard time spotting my facetiousness)
Last comment by me on this topic:
I feel as if I didn't give the crew working our game Friday night their due, they did everything in their immediate power to make the situation right.
1) The coaches and the officials discussed this particular instance prior to the game, while we had the luxury of no pressure at the time for anyone.
2) The officials informed us coaches how they were going to rule on the particular play should it arise in the game.
3) The officials admitted that we had brought up some valid points about the situation that caused them to rethink the ruling and to verify with superiors how this particular play should be handled.
4) We coaches were told that once they had received the ruling from superiors, they would get back to us.
5) Yesterday, we received a call stating the ruling would be that the clock starts on the ready.
In my opinion, the officials working the game Friday night did everything right.
