I had a lower level game earlier this evening. Turnover on downs (20 yard line in) 50 seconds left... The defense had one TO left and the offense said "victory formation".
My wing and I overheard the defensive Coaches say they were going to 'fire out'. Ok, we then advised the offense to protect themselves as the defense likely is going to 'fire out' then call their last TO.
At this point (following the play and the TO) we again hear the defensive coaches say that they are 'firing out' at the offense. IMO, this is when enough is enough! All that I could see and imagine, was hard-feelings/a potential fight/ bad-blood between schools.
Totally left a bad taste in my mind because of the strategy on behalf of the defensive team/coaches.
Our remedy to the situation, was to position (U-R) within the expanded neutral zone, and alert the defense that are NOT going to fire-out. If either of us is moved or touched, guys are getting tossed!
I realize that this may be beyond our purview, but it is something that has to STOP!
This is the time and place to TEACH, not become a "Jr. Greg Schiano". The game is OVER! Just accept the outcome....
