Coach going across the field

I grant that no self-respecting official would have let him all the way across the field, but in the OP that's exactly what happened.

ok then you let him walk across your field .... He wouldnt be walking across mine...thats all im saying....and when I get the "whats the problem I did it last week and there wasn't an issue" I would tell said coach to find the previous weeks official and ask him why he could't control his game.

I think you missed my point.

NO. I would not let him walk across my field. And if he blew through my stop sign he'd be flagged, and likely reported (to whatever authority matters depending on the level of the game). But in the OP, there was no official there stopping the guy.
