It was a home game, and Brad Smith is very much beloved in Oregon City. I cannot imagine the home "folks" keeping him out. My understanding is that he called Howard, not to pull rank, but because he wanted to be correct. If Howard had told him he couldn't coach the Var game, Smith wouldn't have done it. He is one of the few coaches that teaches the players how to win WITHIN the rules. He uses the rules to his advantage.
I'm saying all this to illuminate the subject at hand. I'm not an unmiti1gated Brad 2Fan as man3y around here are.4 But I do admire and appreciate the way he respe5cts and 6works with the rules6.7
