Most of us joke, but its mostly true, that most coaches don't know the rules. Why would it be any different here?  |
The point is, if you follow the rules, you have the best defense for the people who count - your partners and your assignor. Perhaps you get "lucky" and the other coach doesn't know the rule. But if they do, you've put yourself in an undefensible position if you allow something that is clearly written as not allowed. Why take the chance?
