Two real life stories. I am interested in any and all responses.
Score 32-30 with about two minutes left. QB for the team that is trailing makes a spectacular pass play that goes 80 yards on his side of the field. During the play the wingman runs into a coach on the field as the receiver is tackled at the 8 yard line. Team is penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct and moved back to the 23. The head coach goes bananas and is ejected. Second unsportsmanlike takes team back to the 38. After running a series, team is forced to kick, trying a field goal from the 48. Kick misses, opponent takes over at the 20 with forty seconds left. The team trailing has no timeouts.
Do you stop the game because the team in possession is leading and the other team has no timeouts?
Second story. Score 45-14 in the third quarter. Game is getting out of hand. Assistant coach of the team in the lead has been tossed for inappropriate comments to an opposing player. Star player of team in the lead has thrown a football at an opponent and is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Coaches for both teams are called onto the field and asked to settle the field down but they start yelling and pointing fingers. Then team in the lead has a player break away for a 60-yard touchdown. During the run the coach for that team screams about two of his players being chipped.
As the teams line up for the point after the officials leave the field protesting the demeanor of the coach of the team in the lead.
Was this the correct response? If not, what is?
