Pete -
I think maybe I was unclear, I did not say I am open to a coach questioning my judgement. I am open to a coach quoting a rule and providing the correct reference. There is an enormous difference between those two positions.
All I am saying is that with all of the minutiae in the rulebook, you might not remember every nuance and exception associated with a particular rule at the moment that you have to make the call. Who hasn't gotten home after a 3 game afternoon and opened up the rule book to verify something? It happens.
If the coach wants to bring out the book and show me that I have the rule wrong (again so long as it is done in a civil manner) I really have no problem with that.
