Unsportsmanlike conduct; UPDATED with embedded video
We're going off topic again.Here's a play from Sunday's Jets - Dolphins game. This play happened with 2:58 left in the third quarter, when the Dolphins punted to Jets receiver Santonio Holmes(notes). As Holmes took the ball for a short return, cornerback Nolan Carroll(notes) was hurt on the right sideline as he rushed down to cover the play. The replay showed strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi extending his knee just enough to trip Carroll up on the play. Carroll was down for a minute, but returned to play later in the game.
Let's go to the videotape.
I don't know what that coach was thinking but the league ought to discipline him.

It is inconclusive to me whether that was intentional unsportsmanlike conduct or an intuitive reflex caused by the close proximity of the approaching Dolphins player.
I retract my previous comment. Jets' conditioning coach Sal Alosi's confession can be found in this article.
