As a coach, I'd use the fact that the player was hurt to try to convince the official that he kicked it, in the (futile) hope that I could instill enough guilt that a makeup call would be right around the corner. But that's just how us coaches think!

I really don't think that all coaches think that way.At least,I hope that they don't.I really want to believe that some coaches still believe in sportsmanship!

I don't think that action could be construed as unsportsmanlike. I consider myself and my team to be very sportsmanlike. Friendly with the opponents before and after, doing whatever we can to get an edge WITHIN THE RULES (fairness), and doing my best to be gracious after a win or a loss.

Trying to intimidate an official into giving you a make-up call is getting an edge WITHIN the rules?
Yes,coach,you are the epitome of sportsmanship!
That's sad!
