Hey Mick, you need to incorporate a song lyric in all of your posts.

I would NEVER pick this nit. Not if I wanted to work again. Seriously - would this help or harm your ability to work with your sideline? Fix the egregious, and fix the things that prevent you from doing your job. Leave the rest alone. (One exception I can remember. Had a coach chirp in my ear for 3 quarters that the OTHER team was too far out on the field - he would not listen to me saying it was not my issue, it was the issue of the other side. He kept on and on. So I went in, mentioned it to R, who forwarded it to the other side. And you can be damn sure I was strict as possible on his side the rest of the game. I think he got the point, as he apologized as the game was winding down.)
