Stripedofficial, You have taken alot of time to dissect my message... but the first sentence of your last paragraph, " I wasn't there..." says it all.. you were not there, so you really have no business even commenting on this situation. But,I will address your post, to explain this so that you might understand...
1. I know what a coaches box is... my comment was directed at how frivilous that kind of penalty would be, compared to some of the ones that Breathitt committed on the field and then were "called back". I did not state that all of their flags were called back.

2.I do not think referees can see into the future. (You are reaching waaay out there....) My point here , (and you said it yourself,) is, if a kid is hurt and down on the field..play should stop. This young man was not able to get up and go to the sidelines... he was down on the field injured in pain and the game continued. I realize the play must continue, but when an official sees this type of conduct from a player to an opposing player, something should have been done. Nothing was done and one of the refs started to call a penalty for stepping out of this coaches box when the Head coach started on the field to check on his injured player!! ( My point of referees not being observant) They call penalties all of the time for "mouthing" but not one for "blatant action"??? I do not understand that rule. I am sure if you asked the injured young mans parents what was going thru their minds when they witnessed this , I am sure they would tell you they don't understand it either. The video is pretty revealing.
And as far as a referee not allowing a Head coach to ask a question, I would think you should use common courtesy.. especially when a Head Coach says,
"Mr. Referee, May I please ask you a question?'.. Can't get much nicer than that...

I am not making excuses or being a sore loser, I am only pointing out the obvious.. I am quite proud of the way the Cougars played.. Even if Morgan had won, I think there still would be some comments on here.. it is such a rivalry, but be assured these young men from morgan know how to accept a loss... they've held their heads up and have moved on to this weeks opponent.. .
