It's not that big of a deal that he said it if this is what he believes.
And two years ago I was at the NCAA Meeting in Indy when Yeast basically talked about philosophies that the rules did not cover and how to handle them. I did not see anyone then start challenging him on his opinions then and now. Also he said the CCA Book simply a guide and said that the book basically a bunch of mechanics that everyone could easily agree upon. Funny, if you were to say that on this board there would be mutiny.

Peace
