Sorry guys, but teaching student athletes to "do whatever they can get away with" is what someone who is either lazy or just not good enough to teach correctly resorts to.
Teach a kid to block, and eventually he'll learn how to hold, teach a kid to hold and he'll NEVER learn how to block. Teams make mistakes, every game, that might give them a temporary unfair or unearned advantage, that's part of the game.
There's a word for deliberately looking for unfair, unearned advantages by teaching, "Push the envelope and find out what you can get away with. ", it's called "cheating", and whether you're caught or not doesn't lessen the disrespect you show to your players, your school and the game.
