Crybaby has to get his "daddy" to come fend for him

This is unacceptable behavior for an AD, especially one who is on the playoff selection committee.
-
I guess RRs admonishing us on HC conduct has started to sink in. Good on this crew to penalize the HC.

What's worse about this is that A)it was absolutely the correct call on the field, B) Replay confirmed it as a correct call. Haden would have been better served not getting this seen on national TV acting like a horses butt and just strolled over to the replay booth and yelled at THEM if that's what he wanted to do. Probably would get admonished just like he will for this tantrum but we probably would never have heard about it. Doing this, making it public, boy that really is going to cause a lot more pain for him down the road.

Oh hell no, that's why we lock our replay booth.

I said that halfway tongue-in-cheek. Either would be wrong, he should just shut up and realize the correct call was made. I was jesting because as the AD he would have a private booth in the press box and would be closer to the replay officials who were the ones who made the final say on the matter. And if he had gone to them, none of this would have been caught on camera.

Haden was fined $25000 and Sarkesian was reprimanded for these antics.

Pat haden and Sarkasian apologized: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/sarkisian-634102-haden-game.html
But the PAC12 still punished them: http://pac-12.com/article/2014/09/08/usc-ad-and-football-coach-reprimanded-haden-levied-25000-fine

Good for the Pac 12! Happy to see a little back bone.
