Does anything ever happen to Texas high school coaches who publicly disparage officials?

Coaches "example" seems like a reasonable UNS foul to me. Apparently after 243 games, Coach still does not understand the rules.

Really? :!#

Have to see the whole action -- but action done by himself (no teammates) that could be construed to draw attention to himself. Absolutely. Just because Coach "says" he was thanking god does not mean that is how it looked to the calling official. Pointing is often listed as an indication of an UNS foul.

I would bet money that if you saw the film, you'd see him doing a LOT more than what the coach described.

But as described, we agree that's not UNS, right?

“To give you an example, LaDarrian scored and pointed at the sky, by himself, for Jesus, and it was a 15-yard penalty."
Reasonable beef, IMO, if that's really what happened. Have to allow for 'youthful exuberance' as well as momentary religious expressions. Remember the LSU punter doing the same thing and being flagged a few years ago which was criticized by RR as an IC. Pointing to the sky is no flag.

TXMIKE and R. Simmons check your HUDL mail ;D. The last 2 plays.
Coach has a point.

How about a posted video for all to see?

Food for Thought-
If the running back was tackled in the end-zone and before getting up he faced east and :bOW(toward Mecca) would you ^flag?

What if the runner is at the 5 yardline and starts pointing up all the way into the end zone while the defense is in pursuit? More like an "I'm number 1" pointing.

That is why I originally said I have to see it. I am not going by the coach saying that all his player was doing was thanking god. I would not flag a quick knell down or crossing yourself, or turning east to Mecca in the EZ, but if you do it at the 1/2 yard line and then fall into the EZ, I probably going to flag that. What he did, where he did and how long he does it matter to provide context.

Doc, that "should" come down from TASO as our advocate. A complaint should be filed to TASO and they should approach those buggers on Manor Rd. I have never heard of such a reprimand and/or public apology for these comments. Would be interesting to hear what Mike F has to say.
-
I would imagine Mike F would say "consider the source, and just ignore it."

Guess who has the rematch this week!!!!!!
