The decision of USC Coach Pete Carroll to have Matt Barkley throw a touchdown pass in the final minute of Saturday night’s 28-7 victory against UCLA is provoking talk in the high school coaching ranks over sportsmanship.

‘I wouldn’t do it,’ Huntington Beach Edison Coach Dave White said. ‘What goes around, comes around. To me, it made USC look bad.’

Added Mission Hills Alemany Coach Dean Herrington: ‘I would never have done that.’
