Chuck,
This guy's a loon. Put a copy of the letter in a file and forget about it.

It's amusing that the amount of time that was deserved for those four seniors according to the rules is just what they got: ZERO.

I love the way that the coach cites a previous game in which the officials did not handle the clock correctly and argues that this mistake should therefore have been repeated during the game in question. Right or wrong according to the rules obviously means nothing in his mind. We should just blindly follow the previous mistakes of others.
Yet another example of officials who do things incorrectly making it harder for those officials who bother to learn the rules and apply them correctly.

PS Coach, the game clock shows tenths of a second, not hundreths. So you should have written .6 not .06 seconds.
Go ask your school's math teacher.

Let's hope he's not the math teacher.
