I'm sure Bob Schindler appreicates your loyalty, but his word isn't exactly the "final" word. Next time I have an issue with a coach I'm going to tell him Bob Schindler said so and see how far I get.

CJRef:

One, the Rules Editor I am referencing is the late Dick Schindler, not Bob. Two, if the Head Coach tells the official that the player is under adult supervision then the official has done what the rules require him to do. At that point there is not need to document anything. And when the Rules Editor speaks, like the old E.F. Hutton commercial, everybody should listen.
