Nick Saban played Burton in last week's game and defended his decision not to punish his player. Saban ultimately said that every coach handels punishment and discipline differently and he does not think Burton's actions are a reflection of him as a person. He says Burton was scared by the events taking place on the field after the game and acted in a way that reflects it. However, he has assured that Burton is in a counseling program, to help with future instances.
