Doubtful we hear anything from V's coach if an official comes up tossing one or both players. Can't say I blame the V coach for taking a "T" in that situation. My kid just got the Bogart treatment from two players during a dead ball? |

With how horrible the sportsmanship was from the two ejected players I'd have to imagine something happened before their shoves. Seems like I would have to have something good to have a T here. If he's just protective over his players and voices he think I missed something previously... |

We don't "come up tossing" until the fight is over. We have more important things to do during the scrum, and the coach should know as much. If either H2 or H3 don't get tossed, then the coach has a gripe. Either way, the coach's seatbelt would be the definition of grace. He's lucky to stick around.

I'm not following how this thread has transformed from talking about officials screwing up an enforcement to talking about lawsuits.
On another note, "protecting his players" is one of the lamest, most overused excuses for childish behavior from coaches. We're expected to act like adults, so should the coaches be. |

I'm don't care if the coach cares, to be honest. My job is to regain control of a situation that's spiraling at this point and the coach is now part of the problem. I've got three problems (H2, H3, and V Coach), I'm inclined to remove all three.

Actually, 1-11 would only be required to meet those parameters.
One clarification: there was no mention of Coach H losing the coaching box, as H-2 and H-3 were apparently still deemed to be players and not bench personnel. At what instant does bench personnel start? At the whistle when the time out is granted? At "Start the clock, please," to the timekeeper? Something else?

We are discussing two separate issues here - one is a matter of rule, the other a matter of judgement. The question the OP originally posed was if the penalties for the T's were administered correctly by rule, and I agree with numerous others that they were not. The second issue that has evolved in the discussion here is with the T on the visiting coach (note that the OP did not question the T on the VC, just how the penalties were administered). This is a matter of severity of conduct as judged by the game officials - it's one of those HTBT situations..... If the game officials judged the coach's comments as worthy of a T, I have no problem with that. As to whether it was worthy of a flagrant T and ejection, that's another judgement they have to make based on the situation. Regardless of what might have prompted a coach's unsportsmanlike action, his conduct stands on it's own and you penalize accordingly. It's easy to be an "arm chair" official with 20/20 hindsight, but in reality only the game officials present have the immediate knowledge to make those judgements.

As for the original post, I agree with how the officials dealt with everything up to the administering of the calls. I'm not debating the initial call, but wondering what people are letting fly here from the VC. Since specifics weren't discussed from the OP, I figured it would've be an interesting topic. |
