I also had a coach tell me the same thing before a game. It was the first game fo the season. He told me that a particular player carries the ball a lot. I was familiar with the player, I called a few of his games over the past years. Anyway, I asked the coach to define a "carry". Once we covered what the rule was, he backed off and I never heard him the rest of the night.

I have had coaches ask me how we are going to call certain things. I try not to get into that discussion with coaches because no matter what you say, they will try and use it against you at some point during the game. When asked about these things during the pregame, I try and paraphrase the rule (without sounding stupid) and stick to that. I will not tell them how I am going to call something.
