Unduly celebrating in the end zone is neither a tactical advantage nor a safety issue yet we are charged with stopping it.

I live and grew up in Appalachia. I remember when tobacco reps came to the field house on campus and dropped off boxes of chaw at the coaches office. As student trainer-manager, I usually got a box for myself.
The student smoke hole was in the drive between the gym lobby and the fieldhouse.

It is a new day. I have one school where I know good and well one of the AC's usually has a dip in. I just tell him before the game I don't need to see it. Beyond that, to me it's a personnel issue, not a game officiating issue.
