Coach Suspended

http://www.standard.net/xx/news/90987/

Weber State head coach Ron McBride was suspended for this Saturday's game because of some post-game comments he made regarding a play last Saturday against Montana State. Weber lined up in scrimmage kick formation on 4th and 1, snapped to the short man who ran for an apparent 1st down. At this point in the game Weber was leading by 2 in the fourth quarter. The HL threw his flag at the snap and let the play go off. After the play was over, the R talked with the HL and then announced there was a false start on the left tackle, no number given. On the replay, I did not see any movement.
Anyway, the comment quoted in the paper from McBride was that the official made a mistake and had an inadvertent whistle or something. (McBride obviously doesn't even know what that means.)
Looks like the Big Sky conference has a very low tolerance when it comes to saying anything about the officials. I think the comments he made were pretty tame. Just curious what others take is on this.
