I have to agree with the game commentators regarding targeting

It should simply be a 15 yard penalty. No disqualifications.

Targeting is potentially serious. I’d vote out for 15 minutes the first

VACougMD

I think it needs to be a little different than a common unnecessary roughness

There should be two levels of targeting

I hate trying to judge intent. Makes it way too subjective

The point of having it be a disqualification is to prevent players from doing it

Even a second infraction shouldn't be a full game suspension, maybe a quarter or even a series..

JoeExotic

Btw it’s my opinion that when Kwhitt leaves

JoeExotic

It is in Scalley’s contract that he is next HC, even his salary is captured.

NorCal_Coug

10:19am

Are you telling me that the school couldn’t buyout that contract?

JoeExotic

10:22am

Maybe it's a noncommitable offer.

RobAdams

Scalley is Utah’s next HC. If you want to lose sleep thinking otherwise go ahead

Even if Utah finishes this season 6-6 & then Whitt retires?

Yes
