Conference rules that prohibit coaches, student-athletes, athletic department staff and university personnel from making public comments about game officials,”
What did he say about game officials? He inferred that something was taken away from his players by someone but never said the refs were bad or the reason directly. I thought he danced around that rule all the while being as passionate and classy in a rant the whole world knew what he was talking about. Fact is if the refs are that bad you don't need to say it directly, everyone knows, that isn't his fault. This ticks me off. Gotta keep Boss Deloss happy though.
They said the right call was made already, why would they reprimand?When do you think the public reprimand of the replay official will be released?
... and no word from the conference on the cheap shot? Sounds about right.
This is what I was thinking. He actually used very good words, never directly saying the refs stole the game from us. IMO, if I am Pollard I go back to them (not publicly) and ask where a reprimand is coming from at all since he never said it was the ref's fault. All he did was ask a question about how he's supposed to explain this to his players. For all we know, he could have been talking about a poor job he did coaching. Seriously, FU Big 12. Last I knew there were parts of the field that coaches and staff couldn't go beyond, in my days it was the 30 yard line. What the **** was Dodds doing right next to a ref, at the endzone, chomping his ear?
would that result in him being put on double secret probation?guys. answer here is crystal clear. next time rhoads needs to go straight for the refs knees after the game.
... and no word from the conference on the cheap shot? Sounds about right.
The rule states that coaches can't publicly comment about the officials or official rulings.
I know, and I was drunk, so I could be mistaken, but I don't remember him specifically saying anything about the referees. Wasn't it something like, "What happened out there tonight... to have the game stolen...? I would argue, if they thought I was talking about the referees, then you must have seen something to make you think they did a bad job.
IF he actually mentioned the play being called incorrectly, or the officials directly, then I apologize.
