This is the exact reason I don't like the way the rule is now written. You had a perfectly good coach lose the box because one of his players ran his trap. I know that that is how the Fed wants it, but it illustrates the problem with it also.

Can't agree at all with you on this one. Coaches are supposed to instill discipline in their players. If they can't control their players, they deserve to lose the box. They also deserve the indirect T that they're also getting for not doing their job. A "perfectly good coach' will simply make sure that his player doesn't pull that crap in the future, and not blame us for his problems. [/B][/QUOTE]
I don't disagree that the coach should instill discipline. If this is the reason for the rule, then why isn't it an inderect when Player A in the first quarter gets a T? It is inconsistant if this is the reason. It is an indirect because we make the kid Bench Personel as soon as the coach is notified. I liked it better when the kid got notified first, then the coach. Any of the emotion may have already been vented at this point. To be honest with you it hasn't even been an issue with me, never had it happen, but this is the exact scenario I didn't want to see when the rule came out.
