Curious-Has anyone seen a HC get an unsportsmanlike penalty?

I don't recall, but I assume it happens. I definitely don't remember a HC ever getting one 2 weeks in a row.

I think it might be because of the down time football has and the coaches can sometimes find out why the refs did what they did. Just a guess.

Coaches routinely send to their conference significant calls they disagreed with.

Harbaugh went ballistic this past weekend. It may or may not have been called but scott did nothing worse than jim.

I feel like this (the multiple unsportsmanlike calls against everyone, not just HCSS) sets a precedent for future games. Clearly, these penalties were always existent but it seems like they began calling them on almost everything they could. Fine, call them but now the expectation is they need to be called with that much fervor all the time, which won't happen.
