What happened after the game was extreamly embarrassing for anyone on either side of the field. Stop trying to justify multiple wrongs. I belive both coaches will handle the embarrassing actions appropriately.
For now I am more embarrassed by everyone on the board analyzing the right or wrong of single actions in a vacuume as if they somehow can judge all actions leading up to the embarrassing incident. Also those internet tuff guys who adamantly proclaim they would have done the same thing or worse....... Congratulations on your inability to control your anger and your inability to defuse conflicts or improve those around you. You are the very definition of a cancer on society.
