Mid-Season Attitude in a Scrimmage

[FredFan7]

Scrimmage last night. #22 acting all bad and tough out there. Flips the ball away after every carry. Asked nicely by the U to let it lay. Doesn't listen. A few plays later flips the ball away again. The umpire says when you are down, you need to let the ball lay. He mouths back, "I'll put the ball where I want to put it," and walks back to the huddle. U calls after him, "NO you won't." I walked into the huddle and told him, "in a game that will get you an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty." We relayed the message to the sideline that we were having a problem, and the coaches took him out the rest of the game.

I hope he gets his attitude straightened out for the rest of the year, or it'll be a long one for him.
