The coach was given ample time to get an explanation of the team control rule but he wanted to rant and carry on instead of letting my partner explain it to him. When he refused to return to the coaches box after about 3-4 warnings he got what he deserved.
By the way, a few minutes later we had a 1 and 1 foul and I happened to be table side. The coach asked me (this time he did ask) why there were no foul shots and I explained to him that this was a rule change for this season. He said that it wasn't covered at the rules clinic he went to. I told him it was covered at ours and it's also in the rule book. His reply was "I guess I owe your partner an apology". He said absoloutely nothing the rest of the game so my take on it is he was sincere and relaized that maybe he was wrong in this one. Anyway, if he had asked from the start he would not have received the T but it was clearly deserved in this case.
