BSU Coach Stands By Hout Decision

Boise State coach Chris Petersen has taken some heat nationally for not suspending Hout, who tapped Blount on the shoulder pads and said something to him - no one will say exactly what - during the postgame handshakes. Blount responded with his punch and has been suspended for the season. Petersen disciplined Hout internally. He wouldn’t give any details of that punishment. “Byron is being disciplined, there’s no question about that,” Petersen said. “It was the wrong thing to do to say anything to anybody on the football field, but if everybody got suspended for saying something, half the teams wouldn’t have guys to play games. I think it’s something that everybody has learned from - our program and hopefully teams from the outside”/ Chadd Cripe , Idaho Statesman. More here .
