Of course it was a stab at Nick. Not for the mistake on the rules (which he actually says he DID know), but for the justification for purposefully ignoring the rules. You know the rule, enforce it. Don't make the exception because this team was in last place, and this particular player wasn't likely to hit it out, and he seemed to be a very honest young man, and you admired it. ENFORCE THE DANG RULE!
