I will say this and goes for both sides
Until you're in those moments as an competitor (coach) or participant (player) you don't know how you will respond
Football is a very emotional game, especially in this type of game, Danville down 3 touchdowns, comes storming back, BJ makes a wild lateral play, goes to OT, then a stop, but not a stop, and all that.
I don't fault Danville rushing the field and getting to the other side to shake hands, don't blame the BJ assistant coaches trying to alert officials, to cast judgments about how you would act, or what you would say IMMEDIATELY after something like this happens ..... cmon man, if you watched all the way to the end of the game, and camera was still rolling, you could see Coach Comer trying to keep it collected then you watch him walk away very emotional (rightfully so) and just literally drops to his knees .......
Coaches and players even in HS are not robots, so much time goes into this profession even at the HS level, to cast statements such as, I am glad he wasn't my coach making those statements about life lessons, etc etc is odd to me. Until you're in those situations then you won't know how you react or what you say in those moments IMMEDIATELY after your heart is ripped out. That was important for me to say
