If it wasn't that i saw you are from TX, I'd swear you were talking about a game I was at a couple of weeks ago.
6th grade boys game, and a closely guarded violation called against us, and the coaching staff thought it was for not crossing the time line uqickly and argued that point. The ref explained it to them.
Last year, they coached our instructional team of 4th graders where most likely, the 5 second count isn't used, which probably was why it was a shock to them to see it called.
