Deeps, my last post on this subject. If the coach wanted the ruling explained he has a procedure to follow. He can request a TO to confer with the referee. The coach is not to cross the field and approach an official who is working the other sideline.

I would certainly be having a conversation with any member of my crew who left their position to have a chat with the coach about a call. Even during time outs the officials have jobs to do.

It's been stated before; this situation should have been caught when the coach left his huddle and started for the other side of the field. It wasn't. Shame on the R, the U and the BJ but their lapses does not exonerate the coach's behavior.
