When I saw that article, I had to pause for a moment to remember who he was. Then again, women's college soccer isn't high on my radar, but it did come back. "Oh yeah, I remember that name." It's not normal for coaches to retire four days before the season, especially for long-time coaches like he was. If the game passed him by, it would have made more sense for him to have an announcement of "this will be my last season" so he can go out with awards and recognition, like what Gene Smith did...right? Here's more: “As many of you know I modeled our program after Dean Smith’s basketball program, and retiring at this time is a credit to his thinking, as well,” Dorrance said in a statement. “He would re-evaluate his tenure, not after the season, but after he had time to re-charge his batteries prior to the next season. When he didn’t, he retired. After last season I initially was excited about the chance to bolster our roster, which we most certainly have done, but as preseason training camp went on, I realized I didn’t have the same energy it takes to give 100% to this year’s team. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5694620/2024/08/11/unc-womens-coach-anson-dorrance-retires/ I guess it's just a different way of thinking. I'm not sure I necessarily agree, but whatever. He's definitely worthy of an enjoyable retirement.

That is harsh. He was facing away and was off the pitch during a stoppage. Yellow maybe -- for a Red card, it should have been on someone's leg as he was asserting dominance.
I've been posting this in various places forever, but I'm doing it again here and asking the same question: Which of these offenses is the player guilty of? A player is sent off and shown the red card if he commits any of the following seven offenses: Is guilty of serious foul play (SFP) Is guilty of violent conduct (VC) Spits at an opponent or any other person (S) Denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to the goalkeeper within his own penalty area) (DGH) Denies an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player's goal by an offense punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick (DGF) Uses offensive, insulting or abusive language (AL) Receives a second caution in the same match (2CT) The LotG does not say " whatever the referee feels like" or even "taking a leak"
