Btw, its pretty amazing that these are things I gripe about after a national title game...
That's kind of what they did. Carson called a timeout before a 3rd down play and then came off the field slowly, with guys giving him high fives and hugs, then hugging coach K. Easton was in the next play but they didn't announce him in until after his first play and it was 4th down. That's really the best you can do in that situation as it's tough to do it like basketball where you can have a quick rolling timeout where no one really goes to the benches. I think both guys got their due congratulations.
