I didnt hear that interview but I did hear Goins say that he was not as concerend with Huggins' technicals because they were official's judgement calls as he was Machocks ejection. Chuck has a meeting with the Man coming up.
I would say it seemed as though there were a few games that officials could have whacked Huggins for the arm waving stomp / flight attempt this year and didnt. I doubt that those would have prevented what happened in the Zags game though. Huggs is Huggs.
I know we've had technical foul conversations in other posts but let me say this. I sense that if you do what you are supposed to do (IE See Kitts in the Zags game) you could negatively affect future opportunities. Example...there is a high school league in Cincinnati that gives the power to the coaches. You cant get in without a recommendation. You can get bumped out on one coach's no vote. Another example....In Ohio, post season officials are selected based on a vote system...by coaches.
I read on here everyone's relief that Mr. Kitt's 6-man game didnt cost him his schedule and I echo the sentiments that it was a mistake that a lot of people could have made. But, that expressed relief by all of you says something.
