Siding with Your Sidelines

[Green]

During a game this last weekend, the ball carrier was downed on the 35 yardline a couple of yards from B's sideline. As the ball carrier was getting up, a B player pushed him. The LJ told the B player to watch it (a warning) the BJ threw a flag for a dead-ball-foul. B's coaches (only a couple of yards away) got on their player for committing the foul.

The coaches were well aware the LJ was favoring their team and it was no secret to the other officials.
