Checked out a Chicago newspaper on this, and how's this for a kicker: The star gets a T in the first half and the coach still has him in the game for this to happen. The circumstances? His team was up only 61-38 against a clearly inferior team -- WITH 4:39 LEFT IN THE GAME. (Friend says the starters have been left in far too long in several other blowouts this year, too.)
While this video seems to show a pretty smooth downward motion on the play in question, the kid's coach needs to be called into the principal's office for even leaving him in that position.

Agree with you completely total brainfart by the coach...but funny how things like this keep happening to the same kids over and over - this kid was suspended from the last several games of last season for verbally abusing the coach in front of the team....
