Remember the Iowa game? PI called on a clear overthrow. Does Bo let it go? No he takes off his hat and hits the official with his hat. 15 yards later, Iowa goes on to win.
As a coach, when I see an opposing player starting to melt down on a call, I know we have got them right where we want them. Today, I told my team to worry about what they can control and let go what they can't including officiating calls.
I knew we lost games because of Bo, and now it's confirmed beyond doubt.
Good riddance...
He didn't hit the official with his hat.
There's plenty of stuff that Bo
actually did to legitimately criticize him for, so there is no need to make stuff up.
I don't know, when I watch the video it appears the ref reacts like the strap hit him somewhere. But if not, he at least covered the refs hands with spit so he deserved the penalty. He was arguing about a PI call he didn't like to get that 15 yarder too, wasn't he.
I'm not defending his actions, nor am I saying the penalty want deserved.I'm just saying cameras depth of field can affect your perception of distances. So you should stop making things up just to justify your feelings about him. The ref was not hit with the hat strap anywhere. It is very unlikely he got wet either. And please don't use your picture above -- which some may perceive as they were less than 2 feet apart -- to try to justify he did; that is just silly.
Hit him or not doesn't really matter, Bo is not head coach material, atleast not until he can learn to control himself.. that said, you don't know if it hit the ref or not, so you should stop making things up as well!
I wasn't arguing he was head coach material...not sure what compelled you to argue that.
I wasn't right next to him when it happened, so I can't certify if the ref was hit or not, but I do have common sense and no emotional bias. What do you have?
I can provide dozens of links from media sources that say he "nearly" hit the ref with his hat.
How many can you provide that say he actually "hit" the ref?
