Funny you say that. Similar play, this time the visiting team with the ball. Receiver blocks from behind, but clearly outside the shoulder blades.
SAME COACH yells that it's from behind. I tell him it's in the shoulder. He said, "So? It's from behind." I took the time to explain that it wasn't between the shoulders so it's clean (I was standing right next to him for a moment while the players cleared). He's not convinced.
It's amazing how coaches, who should be professional enough to know the rules, just don't bother. Or think that they know better than guys who study the rules and enforce them week after week.
