go slow , then slower , then slow down

Mr. Neil...

I certainly don't think you should feel bad about that call one tiny bit. The way you desrcibed that situation, I think a good percentage of guys would have thrown him out of the game. The players(especially at that age) need to learn valuable lessons about how to conduct themselves on an athletic field.

Another way to look at that. What if had allowed him to stay and then the next play an all-out fight broke out? Its certainly possible that might have happened.

I think your "game sense" was definately working on that play.
