The official's answer (right or wrong) is what it is. No official is going to overrule himself, nor is an official going to lie to a child.



A few times every season, even in varsity games, a player will ask me (before I get a chance to tell him), "Can I run the endline?", and I always answer truthfully.

And I don't believe that this is a form of coaching.
