I agree with the overall attitude problems on the team but this isn't an example of that. The official initiated the contact here not Benny. He has ever right to refuse the official from helping up.I’m not defending Coyte at all or condemning Snell, but Stoops needs to reign in player attitude on the field. There’s a tad too much of a lawlessness feel and it may have finally cost us.

He did but grabbing and pushing off is part of that salty attitude that has gotten some of our players in trouble. Snell shouldn’t have been ejected and I think the ref overreacted but Snell could have easily handled the refs assistance better.I agree with the overall attitude problems on the team but this isn't an example of that.

The thing is the official was carefully ignoring the hits after the whistle and was just signalling where the ball should be spotted so he didn't think that he was extending his hand in a way that Snell thought, from his vantage point, that he was offering a hand up after letting the late hits go. He is a very poor official. Pitiful in fact. He should apologize to Kentucky and then never ref another game.I agree with the overall attitude problems on the team but this isn't an example of that.

Exactly, was he going to say, " I got pissed because he didn't accept my help"He should've thrown his flag for tackling after BSJ stepping out of bounds. instead he tries to pick him up. what an idiot!!
What do you expect him to say? Refs have no conscience.
He's a damn liar...replay shows so.
Should be suspended at least a yearThe thing is the official was carefully ignoring the hits after the whistle and was just signalling where the ball should be spotted so he didn't think that he was extending his hand in a way that Snell thought, from his vantage point, that he was offering a hand up after letting the late hits go.

The ref initiated contact not Snell. Terrible callHe did but grabbing and pushing off is part of that salty attitude that has gotten some of our players in trouble. Snell shouldn’t have been ejected and I think the ref overreacted but Snell could have easily handled the refs assistance better.
It's not Stoops' job to rein in player behavior on the field.
Snell pushes off, it’s not like he did nothing at all. It was minor and not worthy of ejection but let’s be objective, his attitude bit him in the ass. He plays that way all year but he needs to chill out when it comes to the refs. Snell push off on other players all year with a lot of attitude after plays, he and the team just need to bring it down a notch. If you give a ref an opportunity to make a bad call then it’s more likely to happen.The ref initiated contact not Snell. Terrible call
I saw the ref reaching down for the ball to spot it and Benny pushing him while getting up. It's funny how people can watch the same video and get different impressions. I think some discretion could have been used by the ref but the vast majority of the time that contact gets the player ejected. I probably would have erred by simply flagging Benny for unsportsmanlike conduct. The thing is that the refs (and there are a lot of them on the field with the players) are moving towards the down player after every play. The ref being in that spot to get the ball was not unusual but instead expected and ordinary. Again, I wouldn't have ejected Benny but he was way too hyped and let it get the best of him. JMO -- I'd like to hear a better explanation from the ref than the Twitter quips.
You would have been wrong even calling him for unsportsmanlike in that situation. Benny didn't nothing wrong there. That's totally on the ref.I saw the ref reaching down for the ball to spot it and Benny pushing him while getting up. It's funny how people can watch the same video and get different impressions.

Just what ball did you see him reaching for? No wonder Benny didn't want him touching.
