I'm w/ Jurassic. I've heard some dumb comments coming out of camps, but that one takes the cake. It always cracks me up when a clinicain becomes such a fan of their own that they circumvent the rulebook because they are "smarter."

I have heard that in the last 2 minutes of a closely-contested game, any hold should be a signaled as a hack or a push (because it looks stronger), but I don't buy that either. A hold is a hold is a hold.
