was something fairly definitive sent out on this years ago iirc, but I'll be damned if I can remember exactly what it was.
That case play simply says the coach can't be at the table to seek information unless it's for a correctble error. It doesn't list any exceptions.
Interesting kinda play. Personally, I don't really worry if the coach takes a quick look at the book at the half, as long as that's all he's doing. If he brings up the foul count after looking, or sumthin' like that though, then he's gonna hear about it.
If you bring it up with your state guy again, let me know what he thinks.
