Oh, does that mean that it's
good that officials are ignoring plainly written rules? Or is it
good that coaches are ignoring plainly written rules? Is it
good that a coach is forcing an official to make a decision as to whether or not he/she should let the coach skate from what is supposed to be a no-brainer "T"? If not one those, please point me to where I can find the
good side of any situation where a coach is discovered being at the scorers table illegally?
Sorry, Skippy, but any situation where a coach puts us in a position where we have to decide whether to follow a plainly written rule or not is
never a
good situation. And I say that noting that there are situations where I would rather see a discrete warning used in lieu of a "T".
In the real world, if you're doing an NCAA game and the coach is illegally out of the their coaching box, that wouldn't always be
bad either, I take it?
