Thanks folks, I thought I might have lost my mind! Brian, you are correct I think a well addressed confrontation of the official would have resulted in a reversal of the call. Coach knew it was wrong but was unable to get into a rules discussion about it, just kept it at a complaining level. It is funny to me how many coaches, and it's in all 3 sports I officiate (volleyball, softball and wrestling), don't know how to discuss a misinterpertation of a rule. They get into arguing the wrong topics, and talk the official right into being able to use the 3 magic words that stop all conversations, IN MY JUDGEMENT...... But o well you win some and you lose some. Again thanks for agreeing that I am not crazy, some times I truly wonder!!
