Perfect!
I can only remember 1 time when a manager tried to pull out the rule book on me. He came out of the dugout with it in his hand.
"Coach, put the book away and we'll talk."
"But I just..."
"Coach, I won't ask you again. Return to your dugout and put the book away."
"But...", still waving the book.
"Done. You're gone."
