One last time... Dusty was wrong... very, very, wrong... NEVER is it acceptable to act in such a manner, for any reason, in any setting, with or without kids present.
Haywood was just as wrong... Dusty should have been immediately terminated, even without the knowledge that TSSAA was "looking over their shoulder" to see what punishment they would dole out to him.
The "officer, I've ran that stop sign" comparison is absurd. If all the officers in your town waved you through the stop sign all summer, maybe you'd have a better argument.
Twist it anyway you'd like, some will never admit the obvious... call it or don't, but be consistent.
