Do you think it's reasonable for the coaching staff to realize there's a rule that forces legless kids to wear shoes?

And then to petition the state for a waiver?
The kid is a senior and has played all his team's previous games this season on special teams, according to the article. I find it remarkable that no opponent, no previous official, nobody commented about it to the team. How could this be the first time anybody noticed?
Out of the area officials.
New/young crew.
Half-time discussion with Rule Book.

So it took one extra-special crew half a game to understand how to deal with this extra-special kid.

But you're saying the coaching staff should have been super-extra-special to prevent the problem caused when the extra-special crew noticed the extra-special kid had no shoes on his legless body.

I aint buyin it Mick, that's just spreading the special sauce too thin IMO.
Dan,
I didn't say anything about extra-special, or super-extra-special, I think. [Just checked. Nope didn't say that.]
It seems to me that getting the paperwork in line would be rather mundane once the parameters are in place.
