I also recognize that since both coaches are trying to get every advantage then can, and since it is the umpires job to see that neither team gets an advantage not intended by rule, we are at times placed in adversrial positions. None of this makes a coach a "rat", rather it is how he decides to go about this job that determines his rodent status.
I wish you well in your endeavors. I value nothing more than I do the ability to teach.

Point well taken. I will continue to visit here regularly to read your posts as well as those of Pete, T, etc. I agree with you on the value of teaching, and for me to become a better teacher, I will continue to learn more regarding the rules and their application. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
