No complaint from the B coach, just a sly smile.

I tend to agree with RoyGardner in that it depends on the officials judgement of the intent. I have been around football for years, both as a player (high school and college) and an official (20 years), and you know when coaches are acting with that "sly smile".

Help me out if others have an opinion. Thanks again, in advance!
