...."oh really coach?"

I had an interesting dialog with a coach the other day in a scrimmage. The coaches were on the field 10 yards behind the offense getting the plays in and watching plays develop, etc. BUT, now I see a hold away from the play. I say "Hey 82, you just held him. I would have flagged you had the play not gone to the other side."

So the coach barks "You can't call a game that way, a hold is a hold!" I responded telling him no advantage was gained, bla bla bla. He said "if you guys are going to start that stuff THIS YEAR that's going to be a problem." I said coach it's always been called that way and that's the way holding is supposed to be called.

He flat out didn't like it. It was an assistant. I'm curious as to whether any of you have had this dialog and what you said to satisfy the coach.
