Gee, coach, I'm really sorry your player is hurt, but what did you expect me to do, tackle the runner?
Why is it people think it is our job to prevent players from doing stupid things instead of observing and ruling on those stupid things?

Good question. And it's worse at football. "You can't let them keep doing that!!!" "Coach, I've flagged it every time."
