This have been a fine debate, if not entertaining.

Chuck, I really like your justification for the "do-over".

JR, I really like your quotation of the rule.

Sooooooooo.....now it comes down to personal philosophy or judgement about fairness over correctness. It sure sounds like both arguements will work or at least could be sold (explained) to the coaches in a logical manner.

The complexity in the heat of the moment will probably not help either coach to determine if he is getting hosed by a rule or helped out of perceived fairness. Fairness, in most cases, is not a valid premise because it depends on whose point of view you are supporting.

Therefore, I would have have to concur with the rule citation and rely on the book for support when asked to explain myself since that only seems fair to me.
