"On further review of the situation, I formulated a more exciting response (one I'm glad I didn't give.) I would have liked to been quick witted enough to have said, "Look you Butthead. You are unwilling to spend the time yourself to learn the rules. Yet you are willing to stop a game and question my rules knowledge, repeatedly, in front of 500 fans creating a situation that make me look the dummy. When really it is your laziness to learn the rules and apparently your inability to hear - because you have asked me the same question 4 times and I've given you the same answer 4 times, and yet here we are with me looking stupid as if pleading my case, as I expain some arcane technicality to you, seemingly justifying our next (likely judged by everyone else to be improper) action of shooting free throws." I guess it pays to be slow and dim-witted.
Given that many of you on this forum are not dim-witted and slow, how do you respond to coaches that have not learned the rules yet because of their position as coach they feel compelled to question your rules knowledge (infront of the fans/players/administrators)?"
I'd say that's a pretty good one.
