There is a protest procedure here in Washington, but the score was not close enough to warrant any kind of protest. I think the final spread was 22 points or something like that...anyway, the Coach told me last night that he had the official's names, and that the home coach gave him the name and number of the assignor to call and lodge a complaint. Interestingly, the home coach said he was going to call and complain also - he's a former official (I worked a couple State tournaments with him years ago) and was pretty upset about the mistakes that were made.
And deecee, it's a small, private Christian school where T's are mightily frowned upon by the AD, Principal, etc...I coach football there, got a USC penalty two years ago for arguing a call, and was put on probation for the remainder of the season. Sportsmanship and resiliency are stressed to the players.
