Next time... WHACK!

I am not going to say anything to a coach in this situation.
Good rule of thumb:
If it is blatant that a coach is accusing you or your crew of cheating, no talking just give a Technical. Let me just throw in that each situation is different though and that some situations can be handled by saying something to a coach, but I haven't had to talk to one yet. It should be a guideline in the rulebook that we T coaches up for this. They know they have stepped over the line, so we need to let them know that with some kind of penalty instead of no penalty (talking to them).
