Which is exactly why replay was instituted in the first place - based on the premise that there are some things that are beyond judgement in that they are fact. In the absence of replay at the HS level a little bit of sportsmanship wouldn't be a bad thing. Is it required by rule, of course not, all I'm saying is that I would have thought a lot more highly of the coach if he had called the crew over with the other coach and said "look this is what happened".
