The R went to explain it to him.

I wonder if the coach told the player to call it.

I think we need to come up with a new word to use for the few coaches like Hawks Coach who study the rules, don't berate the refs, and are more intherested in the personal development of their players than in winning at all cost. We need a word for those folks, because cute little remarks like this aren't nearly as much fun when I think of Hawks' Coach reading them. If we could call him, say, "Hawks' Mentor" or "Hawks' Benefactor" then we could keep feeling superior to coaches, because Hawks' Coach, and a few others like him, would be in a separate category.
