I'm just shooting from the hip, but I'm sayin no on this one. Dammit, if I've gotta send a kid to the bench for shirt tucked issues, that mean's we're laready on at least strike 3 with this one. I'll be damned if I'm gonna let em drag it out for 30.

One of my biggest pet peeves is the damn 30 second replacement rule. Had a situation just this weekend where a kid fouled out. Kid heads toward the bench. Coach points him back toward the floor. He gives one of his buddies a hug. Then, coach takes a step or two on the floor, gives the DQed kid a high 5 and tells him what a good game he played. Just a bunch of BS. Don't get me wrong, I didn't feel like he was trying to show us up or anything, but just a bunch of needless crap. FOr crying out loud, when ya got a DQed player, let's get him out and get one in and move on.

On that note, has anyone ever whacked a coach for failure to replace within the allotted 30 seconds? I feel like doing it this year just to make a point, but, I doubt it'll happen.
