Make an example of him?
Edsall gave a frickin game ball to Taylor for his Special Teams play.

Football: Sunday Leftovers – Game Balls For Larry Taylor, Andre Dixon And Scott Lutrus (And Much More)
Some bits left over from Sunday’s conference call with UConn coach Randy Edsall.
Edsall gave game balls to Larry Taylor (special teams), Andre Dixon (offense) and Scott Lutrus (defense) after Friday's 21-17 victory over Louisville at Rentschler Field.
Taylor returned a punt 74-yards for a touchdown, Dixon has 115 yards on 22 carries - including the game-winning 5-yard touchdown run with under 2 minutes remaining - and Lutrus had a career high 18 tackles and an interception.
During the call Edsall was asked if there was any worry about Taylor taking unexpected hits in the coming games after seemingly calling for a fair catch prior to his punt return touchdown early in the second half, which tied the score at 7.
“All I know is that Larry will go out there and give his best effort and play until the whistle blows,” Edsall said. “All we can do, all Larry can do, is control what he does. He can’t control what anybody else does.”

Edsall never acknowledged anything was wrong with that play; he fully supports it. Calhoun, as many BE fans said while we were joining the league, really is an @sshat as I now see, but I was really wanting to like UConn football.
....how can you have any respect for Edsall now?
