Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll did not hide his disappointment of the National Football League's decision to hand them a penalty for allegedly violating minicamp practice rules.

The Seahawks were fined more than $300,000 -- more than $100,000 for Carroll and around $200,000 for the team -- and will also lose two days of veteran's camp before the 2015 NFL season.

The league ruled out that the Seahawks were guilty of having too much contact during a minicamp on June 18 where cornerback Richard Sherman and wide receiver Phil Bates engaged in a fight.

"I'm really disappointed," Carroll said on Wednesday via ESPN. "I don't want to be doing things wrong. I want to do things right and I'd like to show exactly how to do it. We're trying to do things the best you can possibly do it. Unfortunately, this decision makes it look otherwise."

Carroll maintained that they believe they are doing everything right without violating any league rule, but the NFL saw otherwise when they reviewed footages of the said practice.

The defending Super Bowl champion also committed the same violation in 2012. The league also handed an undisclosed monetary fine and also forced the Seahawks to cancel their remaining two practices that year.

"The first year [2012] they had some questions with how we worked," Carroll said. "And then we had a great year last year. Halfway through camp, we got a really good report about how we were working, so we stayed with it. We took from last year and tried to do things better with the same tone and same thought, but [the NFL] decided otherwise when they looked at the film."

When asked if he believes the league has been singling the Seahawks because of their success last season, Carroll declined to comment, but he pointed out working hard in practice is a normal thing for the squad.

"I think we practice in a way that draws attention, and we have for a long time," Carroll added. "You know, we're always competing here. That's how we do this. We're trying to do things exactly right. We're not trying to push it over the top."
