TD is wrong (if they are allowed to be). That blatant and VISBLE act needs to be VISIBLY handled. Not to say over kill on a signal and not rubbing it in incitefully, just immediate and visible, then quietly being sure the coach gets the notice and the message.
As far as the above about NCAA on TV, not a good example for us or good precedent. Those cases have been beaten up and down in other topics, but seem to have more to do with where they are, high level coaches, umpires with too much concern about the status of the games, etc. Not instructional for us on MC, UC, OBS, INT, etc.
