So you're saying we can be proud of ignoring "some minor" book things at 9:30 but we're wrong to let it go to 6:00.
Can you tell us more about what you mean by minor? And what we should do if your defintion of minor doesn't quite agree with the other coach's definition?
Can you give us a more definite time when we should go from being softies to being hard @sses? Maybe at 7:37? 8:23?
(Rhetorical if somewhat sarcastic obviously. I think you get my point.)

Last night we didn't get an FT violation called, in the third quarter of a close varsity game, after the official gave the shooter the ball, then recognized a player in one of the top spaces. He blew the whistle, took the ball back, told the player to move, and administered the second. I got him to come explain why there was no violation, and he told me that it was his fault she was there. I agreed, and then told him once the shooter had the ball, it was the violator's fault and not his, but he did not agree. Then his slimy partner told me that his partner kicked it next chance he got. I already knew that, but now I knew the other guy didn't have enough cajones to correct him at the time, and undercut his partner as well.

The first guy was right, take the ball back & reset.
You have the second guy figured out pretty well.
