Parrish was wrong to write the column. We're wrong to assume with certainty that the official was correct.

Someone told me a long time ago...."When you roll the dice, you just might crap out." It really does not matter if the official was trigger happy or not. All that matters is did the player/coach do something that is outlawed by the rules? If that is the case, you might run into the wrong person that might just take action. As a player or coach, you need to be aware that not everyone is going to give you a pass. It is like when you speed in one community and you never get a speeding ticket for going 5 miles over the speed limit, but you run into another community and you do get a ticket. You were wrong in both situations; one of those situations the powers that be took action.
