I know the rule. You know the rule. Felix knows the rule.
The hypothetical referee or coach in this thread might NOT know the rule. One or the other might make that statement.
If it's the referee, the coach has the right to protest to get the rule right. If it's the coach, s/he's still protesting about a rule--and will lose the protest and lose the TO (and if s/he has already used the two TOs will get a delay sanction).
