REPLY: Sorry...I didn't mean to confuse the issue. What I tried to say (maybe not very well) was that while I would not offer a coach information about how he might want to put the ball in play after a fair catch or awarded fair catch since the penalty is already completed, I would offer him information about the effect of acceptance of a penalty on the possible extension of a period. Does that help clear any confusion? I wasn't trying to tie the two things (fair catch and extension of period) together. Just trying to show how I would treat those two things differently.
