Turner's a coach. There's a natural animosity there.
I'm sure given a day to get away from the heat of the moment, Turner will understand, though he'll still think it sucks (obviously, it does).
I'm sure there are those in and out of our profession who will either take great glee in the fact that the big Ed Hochuli kicked one or who will feel it's more in line with their world view that all officials suck. But I can guarantee you that nobody's plane ride home tonight was as bad as Ed Hochuli's.
It can happen to any of us. How we handle it is the key.
