I don't know if I would go that far, I think everyone gets the point but you. The official took a DIRECT insult, that's like a direct unprotected body shot in boxing. On the battlefield, that's like getting hit with a bullet and continuing to fight, paving the way for the others. By not giving the coach a T, it preserved the integrity of the game, and also the integrity for the C. A double win. I didn't mention that. This guy knocked down two birds with one stone, one no-call. He hits the C with a T and half the parents are going to be piss at him for getting that T so late in a 1 point game. The ones that saw the play would have really been upset b/c the kid didn't get foul, he just fell on the floor. In HS or college, that could've ended his career. It turned out that the team still lost, so preserving that T saved the coaches face with his supporters. Okay, I'll back down on the metal but we got to give him a stripe for that one, he earned it here.
I read somewhere out here where a poster said, sometimes a no call, is the best call! Being that the team still lost, the no-call becomes even bigger, imo. You see, it would not have changed anything which means it was the best thing to do. The game ended normally which shows the protection for the game, which is what everybody wanted to see happen. Calling the T would have sour the normal ending, tainted the winning teams victory, got the coaches all upset with you, now you got a confrontation you might have to deal with, and the coach never swore. You know we already talked about that thin skin of yours. If you going to call a T on the coach late in the game, make sure he earns it.
