You're exactly right, Brian. This brief discussion occured during the first game as my partner and I sat in the corner of the gym, not during the "pre-game" of the game we worked. The coach described the play, and asked for our ruling as to its legality. Question answered, the discussion ended and he left. Only problem, as I stated earlier, was that he still misunderstood and, thus, became upset when the violation was called during his game.
