From your post.

"This is one athletic director that won't be getting any favors from our commissioner any time soon. "

That seems very odd. Even so, sure sounds like there was communication to me.

Your opinion is noted, but I doubt you are qualified to criticize.
Or,

"Sir, it's completely inappropriate for me to do that or for you to ask me to. Good night."

That's the commissioner's job.
This is the problem with all the "regimes" that run officiating all over the country. You do not know how to use common sense to do anything but a policy instead. I would have not likely said anything either, but I would not have needed a policy to do it. And if I did say something, it would have not been a big deal. My question to the AD if I would have commented is "Do your job and I will do mine."

Peace

No. It's the athletic director who won't be getting any favors. Now who's been drinking the nog?
