While its true that we can't rule on the intent of a player in all situations, it would be easy to sell this call if we flagged it. Even a smart coach (dare I say they exist??) would have a hard time making a case against it. We just have to be careful in trying to quote the rule (i.e. - DON'T try to quote the rule). Just give the coach a reasonable explanation (pacify him) and move on with the game. Surely he'll find something else to ***** about in the next few plays.
