Sometimes it would be a whistle on a play that happened five times in a row at the other end without a whistle. It was a craptastic season on many levels and I'm sure the players felt it.
The only time players should be called out is for not competing hard.
Maybe I'm guilty of bashing the coach's decisions sometimes, but I've never wished personal ill upon him.
All that said, "Fire _____ to the moon/sun" is fair game. No one means it literally, people.
