Whoever that third guy you mentioned is give him a pat on the back.
It has never been a requirement that officials take the game tape on suspended games. No rule, no bylaw, no written procedure.
There is a reason there is no written procedure. Coaches are honor bound not to use the game films while the contest is being played.
So, I have a question to those who feel it is their duty to be the tape police.
Do you take the tape at halftime as well? If not, then where is the consistentcy in your logic?
