That's it.
Rule 10-5NOTES1 is the rules reference.

UH . . . what he said . . . IF the coach doesn't know that rule, shame on him/her. IF they did know the rule, then s/he was testing your fortitude . . . bet that doesn't happen again.
BTW, I read your original post about the entire incident . . . and, do I think you could have handled some things better, yes. Am I questioning your judgement no. We have all had our first 37 games, and I thank GOD that I made it past them, because I stunk up the entire gym for about my first 100. Unless you go and ask some of the coaches I have had in the last couple years (ha ha). Hang in there, find some good mentors, read and learn the rulebook, and learn to relax and be more patient. Everything will fall into place. Best of luck.
