Just another outsider that witnessed it and agree totally with the call. One thing that could really help these situations is to give the assistant ref the ability to blow the whistle and jump in to stop the match immediately before anything could happen which can cause hard feelings. To say the coach (Kit) caused the call is crazy, the assistant ref made the signal immediately. It was obvious that the PV had a hold of the head gear. Not saying it was on purpose, but obvious and had to be called.
Now the long hair in my opinion is totally wrong, this liberal view of letting people express themself is a bunch of crap. Get the sport back to being clean cut. Maybe the head gear would have been much closer to the head and wouldnt have been grab, another issue that needs to be readdressed by the state.
Just my feelings
