I'm not going to say what his reaction should have been. I will only say what it could have been. Again, I will reiterate: I have zero problem with how this was handled. The coach was given his options, and he made his choice. Yes, an ejection would've been justifiable, but in this sitch, there's more than one way to skin a cat.

I'm assuming you're speaking as the defensive coach? In that case, you'd be just as guilty as the home team coach for delaying/hastening a game.

"Don't worry, coach. I've got this one under control."
