[Husker] Martinez

[Lynette Tillner]

The article was about the Head Coach basically calling plays and coaching 
from his hospital bed. He was talking to and texting his assistant coaches. I 
didn't get the sense he was calling players directly. 


From what I've heard, Martinez (a player) was using his cell phone to call his 
father (not on team). If he was seriously injured, the med staff/university 
should have already informed the father. From the rumors, it paints TM's Dad as 
a meddling "PeeWee Football Parent." I don't see any benefit from TM calling his 
father except to say "I'm OK" which the father has a right to know from someone, 
but from TM himself? That is where I believe they are two different situations - 
coach to assistant coaches, player to parent (possibly in violation of team 
rules?). different stories in my opinion.

What is that difference? Not trying to be argumentative .. I'm curious
as to what you think about it.
