Well then you're dealing with some exceptional coaches. This is more like my experience.
Coach: What the....?? No way! Weren't you looking?? B clearly touched it. I can't believe you didn't seen that.
Me: Coach, the ball needs to land in the BC before you touch it when the defense deflects it back there.
Coach: Oh, for Pete's sake, this is high school ball. You can't seriously expect these kids to understand rules like that. I don't think that's even in there. You just really need to get with someone to explain it to you. No one else ever calls it that way [which btw is true!] and you're reading something in there that just isn't part of the rule.
Me: Coach, this is the approved interpretation which I know is correct. Others have to call what they see, but I know I'm right about this.
Coach: (looking at opposing coach) Have you ever heard of this before? I didn't think so. It's bizarre. Of all the weird, twisted interpretations... I'm gonna call your assignor and get this straightened out, you just don't get it.
Me: Thank you coach, now let's get back to the game.
Coach: mumble, mumble, mumble
