The Arizona Rattlers lost to the San Diego Strike Force, 49-48, in the Indoor Football League playoffs on Tuesday night. The game ended on a controversial play where there might have been a false start or time may have expired. Referees threw a flag, but ended up calling a penalty on the defense as the Strike Force tied the game with a touchdown with no time left on the clock.
After San Diego's kicker ended the game with an extra point, Rattlers coach Kevin Guy went on a rant in his postgame press conference where he swore, called the officials a "dog and pony show" and insisted that the team would fly in referees from the East Coast next season rather than have the same officials work another game. He also vowed to fire anyone who was working gameday operations for the team at home games.
