Be Careful When Streamlining Rule Books

[Reginald Rutledge]

you're just gonna have to know when to let some things go.

Here's the bottom line I think on this. Simply pat the ref on the shoulder and tell him, this man is eligible. Inform the other team in accordance as well. That alleviates all the ill-will/heart-feelings that can come from much ado about nothing!

The game is played. A miscommunication has occurred but at the end of the day, it is the coaches responsibility to make the official aware of everything. The official has his hands full when he is trying to operate clocks, handle stats, and try to bring TV coverage to people across the country.

You played well. Barry played well. Controversial calls happen! Judgment calls happen. But you got to appreciate guys willing to drive 4-5 hours to play and officiate and try to keep that camaraderie rolling along. I know any of us would do it for each other. So let's congrats those OU Sooners for beating the #3 team in the country and move on.

Who do you have to play next?
