Again, a couple of things.
Assuming that the Georgia crew was competent, but made a mistake.........
- they misread the situation in terms of a personal or an unsportsmanlike foul. Looking it up would have likely affirmed their decision because they would have looked up the rule that made it work for them (that's where anyone would look first)
- as for the coach showing me the rulebook..... I work 7 sports, and in 6 of them, as soon as the rulebook gets shown to me, the coach is ejected. This is just not tolerated anywhere else. Not that it is a bad thing, just interesting contrast.
