This photo was in the local newpaper. The photographer could have taken pic's like this all night. On an earlier thread I talked about PA having no evaluation systems in place. This is an example. The coach in the picture belongs to a team that has influence with officials assignments. If the official gives the warning, and later flags the infraction, his chance of working diminishes. If we had meaningful evaluations, it would give officials some incentive to make these calls. The official in the pic probably would act accordingly in most of his games. Ignoring stuff like this in order to get assingments can only lead to poor officiating.
