All of these IPs could clearly be seen on TV. There was not a whole lot of grey area, F1 clearly has two feet in the air. Frankly I think the NCAA should take some action for a head coach to come on national TV during a game and accuse the umpires of cheating his team.

Don’t want umpires to call IPs? Don’t IP. Don’t like the IP rule as written. Fine, work to change it. But don’t accuse the official who is doing his/her job as directed of cheating.
Jim Leyland and Armando Galarraga think the Florida coach is a crybaby.
