Before I say anything else, let me state that I have been in situations where, AS A CREW, we missed an elbow to the face that resulted in a player's nose being broken. A foul WAS called here and that ultimately is the important thing.
I just wonder at times if we are afraid to do the "right" thing because we are worried about a "certain coach" or "administrator" reporting negatively about us.
My first thought when seeing the play was same as Chuck's.
"Throw him!"
Even though Huggins would obviously have complained after the game to the Supervisor, he wouldn't have had a LEG TO STAND ON! All the Super. would have to do is throw the tape in and look for himself.
Very experienced Crew on this game, and they have my respect. Just curious as to the thought process.
I agree Chuck, that the elbow was no different than if he had cocked his fist and thrown a punch.
