"That wasted time that could have been spent mentoring the young starter he chose to lead CU out of a two-touchdown hole, on the road, in the rain, against the No. 15 team in the nation."
The OC's are the ones to be mentoring the QB and call effective plays during the game, not the head coach.  
You are quite correct Northsider, a head coach's job is to manage the game.  MacIntyre chose to get the officials attention as a part of managing the game.  I have no problem with it his enthusiasm all, but I would like our OC's to step up a little.
