And again— the coach who got the “unsportsmanlike” penalty with a minute to play was CORRECT, the ref was not. The NL face off player had won the face off, was being run off towards the NL bench and the NL coach called timeout before he was pushed out— he was NOT in the offensive zone, not even close. The rules are the rules, clearly the ref didn’t know them. Can say a lot about Cabell, one thing you can’t say is he doesn’t know the rules. He was 100% right and it was a very important time in the game (1 minute left, score tied). All he said (loudly) was “we are playing NCAA rules.”
So no, I’m not incorrect. It was a horrible penalty, and it should never have happened. Instead of playing man down the last minute, Madlax should have had the ball.
ML lost. Time to move on to the next Cabell incident.
But he was correct about a call, so his behavior is excused I guess. Amazing contortions you guys go through!
