Had a subvarsity game today. The same coach came up with both of these:
There was a fairly long pass. It probably wasn't catchable, but there was contact by the defender. The HL called DPI. The coach yelled "it wasn't catchable." We tell him that is only a college/NFL rule. His response was "I used to be an official, and I know the rule." Uhh...ok.
Later in the game, a member of his team (they were on defense) grapped and twisted the runner's face mask. A personal foul FM was called. He yelled "how can it be a 15 yarder? It was totally unintentional." I want to hear him say the same thing if they take the player off in a ambulance with a broken neck.
