Keeping HC issues private to avoid the [arbitrarily harsh, capriciously vindictive, un-Christian] penalties that would affect a player's on the field impact is stoopid.
Maybe I read P Norton's tweets wrong, but it seemed to me to say "Let's keep things possible HC violations private because keeping things private helps us put a better product on the field." That attitude will always backfire, because seeing HC violations as a chess piece to gain a competitive advantage (or avoid a competitive disadvantage) will always favor BYU's opponents. That's where I disagree w/ P Norton. He seems to think we can tilt the competitive advantage in a meaningful way by covering things up. I don't think that's a plausible solution--the forces working against BYU in this regard are numerous, disperse, and varied. Central planning and heavy-handed control can't resolve this.
The best thing to do would be to overhaul the entire process of doling out punishments for HC violations. Take away opponents' incentive to uncover HC violations in the first place. But barring that, the best thing to do is frame HC violations as a private matter unworthy of discussion regardless of such the on-the-field impact of such a violation.
