It really does become a political game when the coaches vote. I can tell you that more than half have very little idea about mechanics and indepth rules understanding.

For example, last week I had a coah become irrate because of a horsecollar tackle (that really wasn't all that viscious to begine with). I had to tell him three times before he would believe me that its not a federation foul. I can't tell you how much I hear coaches call BIB "clipping".
