Oriole35....what??? Did you read the last two sentences. I said that depending on how you state your decision will be the difference between being a good or bad.
I could have been snide and made a demeaning comment about your reply, but I simply stated the facts. How you interpret them is exactly what we are talking about. Even if I said, "Coach, you'll have to excuse my interruption, but I am well versed in the rules and mechanics of the game. Whilst, undergoing extensive testing, I read the rule book in its entirety and found no example of a penalty for the infraction you cited. Therefore, in my judgement, I cannot enforce a penalty for what you deem to be an infraction of the rules governing the game." If he is wound up, he's going to come unglued, no matter what you say. I'm not out there to bait him, but you just saw that a few simple sentences - without tone, inflection or stress - irritated you. Step back, deep breath - we are on the same side.
