Nothing like a nice midgame rules clinic with a coach who doesnt accept it, isnt listening, more interesting in whimpering or rattling an ump than learning the rules of the game they "coach", and rare is the coach who actually goes looking for the answer themselves by actually reading a rule book.

So congrats to you for at least having the initiative to seek out the answer and enhance your rules knowledge.
