Saban supportive of Cochran cell snatch
Near the end of Saturday’s 66-3 win over Ole Miss, ESPN’s cameras caught Alabama strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran confiscate a cell phone out of the hand of a team staffer who appeared to be using it on the Tide sideline.
The video was quickly turned into a gif and spread across social media, with many posts reinforcing the perception that Alabama — and especially Saban — aren’t exactly social media-friendly.
Asked about the incident Wednesday, Saban unsurprisingly supported Cochran’s effort to eradicate cell phones from his sideline, as per team policy.
“I think if you’re going to be on the sidelines, you should be focusing on the game,” Saban said. “So, that’s basically the policy, that’s basically what we’re trying to do. We have a rule that nobody’s allowed to have a cell phone on the sidelines, and we have a rule for when you can have your cell phone out in the locker room.
“Obviously it’s a focus issue, so I don’t know what else I can say about it.”

Rules are rules, this guy was Bama staffer and should have known better. No mention if he ever got it back LOL Knowing Cochran he probably put it in a box and put some HUGE weight on it, lift the weight get the phone LOL That would be funny.
