Let us not go on about what the public thinks. Many of the public felt the NFL had no right to penalize the Saints for their actions either. I put little stock in what the public thinks on an issue where they never have direct knowledge of how a profession works.

Peace

No problem with what Ed Rush said. Now did the official who called the T get the money or trip? I would take the money. I hope he did. Its no difference than other officials at the half talking about certain plays and to watch out for certain players who may be too aggressive etc. So they just T Sean Miller when it was appropriate. Much to do about nothing.

Interesting. I completely disagree with every statement in this post. Are you actually an official? Or did you just post this nonsense to see the reaction?

One can hope, at least.

There is a big difference between saying, "this coach has done things that should have been T'd up this season" and "the first guy to T him gets a trip to Hawaii." C'mon man!

I agree Hawaii is over the top. Cancun would be more reasonable. Ha

I'd be shocked if Rush is back in the pac-12 next year despite this support
Larry Scott, Pac-12 commissioner, backs Ed Rush regarding controversy with Sean Miller - ESPN


I hate douche-bag coaches, owners, etc but come on people there is absolutely no way that this guy should be the pac-12 coordinator of officials. He's had his time, move on.

Frankly, I hope they back him for two reasons.

1. A little push-back against coach power at that level is a good thing.
2. Not rewarding the poor official who didn't get scheduled that championship game and decided he just couldn't keep this to himself.

Rush made a mistake, but this shouldn't be a career ender like working for the mob.

Besides, I can think of worse things than coaches thinking an official might hold a grudge over previously unaddressed tantrums.

Agree 100% but afraid that media frenzy and bloggers and tweeters could lead to Ed being taken down
