I'm not real sure how a coach is protecting his player by jumping in the opposing kids face and yelling "Why, why, why, why, why!!" How about just pulling the kids apart and separating them. It just showed alot of immaturity and unprofessionalism as well as instigation in my opinion even from a young coach. What they should have been doing is protecting the quarterback. After 35 years of coaching I've never seen a team, spread or otherwise (Texas Tech included), that had darn near 5 ft line splits. When there is a track meet to the QB on every play, it's time to cut them down where the linemen can get a chest punch on those guys shootin gaps unless you want your QB murdered.
