I'll be Seeing These Guys Tomorrow

I give them credit for trying to take care of business but why so much conversation with so many of the assistant coaches? I had to watch twice just to figure out the guy with the suit on was the HC.

They should have only been addressing the HC, especially after sticking his bench.

And it looks like someone from GM of the home team gets involved with the visiting bench. That really shouldnt be happening unless he's asked to do so.

And FWIW, I think the kid definitely got fouled on the shot. Tough to see in 2-man but he got hit.

Wow. Was game management involved in that mess? Way too much discussion with the bench by the officials...and holy cr@p! How many assistants were on that bench? Looked like they had more coaches than players.

If you're going to whack 'em...do it and move on. This looked like a nightmare in the making.

I had the same thought about the number of coaches on that bench! Good grief.

And no clue why at least one of those assistant coaches wasn't tossed. Possibly even two or three.

And also no clue why the two refs stuck around that bench area for so long. The young looking guy with the "Sit down now!" repeated three or four times really cracked me up.

In IL, you're allowed 15 team members, and 22 total "bench personnel plus players". The V team often brings the S and F coaches to the playoffs. Since those coaches are used to standing / actively coaching (vs. assisting), it can lead to some interesting dynamics.
