Frankly, a coach has the same responsibility to keep his cool and composure as the players do, and Butch clearly lost his. I don't guess we'll ever know exactly what he said, but both the line judge and the referee threw their flags pretty quick.
But here's my problem with that: First, whistling the play dead was clearly bullshizzle. The officials don't get to arbitrarily blow the play dead so they can review the previous play, and the ball had clearly been snapped. I've always felt, same with technical fouls in basketball, that when you screw up, you have the backbone to stand there and listen to the coach vent a little bit. Obviously there comes a point when the coach has to calm down and get back on the sideline, but they threw those flags quickly. I thought that was awful officiating all the way around.
i would agree
Again I think that was a result of issues between Jones and the refs in the first half
