Shut up hippy.
That's the problem with people today...too damn permissive!
And get off my lawn!!!

Lah me! Banned from the lawn. Again.
Didn't we have a thread a l'il while ago about a coach standing on the sideline- still in his coaching box, and then touching a pass coming up the sidelines? Wasn't the argument then between dem that wanted a "T" and dose that just wanted a violation? I don't remember anyone really advocating running the coach's a$$. Except for you, of course. Or is my memory failing me again. Just seems to me that there really ain't that much difference in HOW you interfere.

I think the difference was the previous case is that the ball came right by the coach on a pass and he/she, perhaps reflexively, touched the ball. I would not think of running the coach in that case.
In this case, the coach reached out into the floor and slapped the ball away from a player who had control of the ball.
Those are two very different animals. There is no reason or excuse for the latter.
