Was this a team rule that the player was aware of and the whole team followed? The coach said this was a team policy that everyone was aware of.

I'm 100% for wearing pink and supporting boobs, but rules are rules. If the coach said no, then it's a no. There are other ways you can honor somebody on the field.

At the same time, the coach should have addressed the issue before he stepped on the field. Waiting till after the game made the issue bigger than it had to be and made the kid look like a scapegoat in the loss.

Obviously, the school will look into this. After all, nobody wants to be the villain

Exactly, rules are rules but it is the coaches fault for letting this go out onto the field. I also don't agree with calling him out in front of everyone in the locker room after the game but if others had been punished all year then I understand the punishment. Don't think he should be fired for it though. We let our guys do pretty much whatever they want all year long with regard to breast cancer awareness, not just in October. However, rules are rules, but it is possible that the rules weren't stated clearly enough in this case.
