This is what bugs me about football officiating. We allow any level of disrespect and do it in the effort of "Well let us use common sense." If this happen in most sports, no one would have thought twice about penalizing someone associated with the team. I really wish this attitude would go away. Not saying we have to be flag happy, but there is too much concerned with who we piss off.

Alright, we know he is the visiting team's AD, but would the officials?

Admittedly I didn't see the game, just the ESPN highlights and discussion, where I didn't see any difference between any other team assistant getting into a conversation between the official and the HC. I have to say I probably wouldn't know the difference between another one of the visiting team's assistants and the AD. Then again I work with more than just a 12 school conference, so they may have known.

That being said, If he pulled anything like a "I'm the AD" into the conversation, that is getting a detailed entry into the post-game report.
