HOUSTON – Navy’s coaching staff goes through the ritual every week.
After each game, head coach Ken Niumatalolo has Director of Video operations John McGuire send certain clips into the American Athletic Conference office for review. Contained on the tape are plays that did or did not result in penalties, prompting Niumatalolo to seek clarification from the conference office.
Too many times this season, American Coordinator of Officiating Terry McAulay has informed Niumatalolo that certain calls were wrong or that non-calls should have been made. It happened last week and will likely happen again this week.
