There should have been a flag.
It speaks volumes about integrity when an official oversteps their authority as in this case. I don't want to be pushed and if you do expect an ejection and a write-up and maybe even a call from the local police department.
Therefore, I should not push unless absolutely necessary and in this case it did not look necessary.
A few seasons ago I did a junior high game where security was lacking. On a long run down the sideline a parent stepped out on the field to see the run right in front of me with no choice but to run over the guy. I got the worst of it because a player who had been blocked took out my legs and it was head over heels.
Since then anytime a player, coach, parents, etc. steps on the field there is a flag. If it is a parent I hope they parked their car so they can see the field because they will be tossed.
