Rookie Vs. Veteran

From JRutledge: "Please do not be a rulebook official where you forget all common sense."

JRutledge: I see your point. The only reason that I brought this up is that Vinski is a rookie official. I would not have picked up on this small technical mistake if he were a veteran official. As a member of my local IAABO board's training committee, I believe that it's important for a new official to really understand the rules, and I didn't want Vinski to start his career thinking that there was such a thing as an "official" warning to a coach that "enough is enough". The veteran's on this Forum can't even agree if the NFHS suggests a visual warning to indicate to the coach that "enough is enough, as I indicated to Vinski in my post to his thread.
