High school football coach watches 500th win from fence after being ejected

Notching one's 500th win as a coach is something to be celebrated and remembered. But celebrating such a milestone was a bit difficult for high school football coach Bob Hyland, who was ejected from a game over the weekend as his team went on to solidify the milestone for him.

Hyland, long-time coach at St. Mary's Springs in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, got the boot in the third quarter of Saturday's milestone game.  According to local publication The Post-Crescent, Hyland took issue with officials calling a long timeout to discuss a holding penalty. That's when the officiating team slapped him with two penalties and booted him from the game.

"At the end of the game, when the officiating crew did what they did – they asked me to come out and make a call and then he throws a penalty on me, and a second one," Hyland told the publication.

St. Mary's went on to win 35-7 win Hyland watched from the fence. He did eventually get to celebrate with his team, however.
