I blame both.

These players have been playing organized football for the better part of their lives. Even if the coach specifically ordered the returner to down the ball in the end-zone, he still should have run it out of the end-zone. In fact, if the coach(es) were stupid enough to give an order like that, the player then should have said, l "Coach, what the hell are you talking about ??? I'm running the ball out of the end-zone, because I don't want to give them them extra time-out with the 2-minute warning."


So yes, the coaches had their heads up their asses not to be on top of that, but so did the players ...... you shouldn't need your coach to tell you EVERYTHING, especially with such a fundamental situation such as that.
