And the word is lose, not "loose."

I see you can't NOT use the word scab, either. Too bad. I'd be more incliined to consider your opinions then.
First off, catch/ no catch is not a rule application, it's judgment. Secondly, if you think a manager at that level doesn't know how to protest, you're crazy. They knew it was wrong, and they knew it was protestable. Let a few of those situations simmer for a while before the managers and players decide "to hell with the gag order and keeping peace!"
