Most of it is outlined in bylaws 15 and 27, but that doesn't speak to why it was overturned? I will say over the past several decades I have seen a plethora of different situations where players that have certain reputations or have had the same officials in multiple games, will have penalties imposed on them prematurely. You will get several officials that have bigger egoes than anyone on the field, and they can sometimes over use the power they have. I've seen it lead to futures being ruined because an official has a grudge from something else that has happened. I once seen one of my players take his helmet off after a play a sling it towards our sideline, in which he was thrown out for. The official wasn't aware during the play one of the other teams players took two of his fingers and started pinching his Adams apple at the bottom of the pile. So the kid went into survival mode and tried to get away from the situation. The official was close to where his helmet landed and took it personal. So the next game he played that same official threw him out of the game because he claimed he was taunting the other team. However, when I got into it I found out he was confronting a receiver for missing a blocking assignment. This happens all the time. I'm not sure what happened with the Dalton kid in the second ejection but I do know kids can get labeled and sometimes those labels don't ever leave you? That's why controlling your emotions is so important in sports, because you never know who will be officiating your games in the future? I was thrown out of a baseball game once and we ended up playing for the conference championship, and sure enough we ended up having that same umpire behind the plate. I was on a very short leash that game and needless to say no calls went our way. I considered that loss completely my responsibility because I didnt control myself early in the year and i even knew he'd hold a grudge. My players didnt deserve that. I hope he has things somewhat figured out like everyone is saying? I wish him the best. I hope it continues in his other sports?
