I think you handled it just fine. You reminded him of the rule and then took care of business. The Iowa coaches rule is terrible. Unfortunately it isn't going away any time soon. It makes us look like jerks when we enforce the rule because often the coaches are doing nothing more than coaching. I'm curious where you were? Email me through the board if you get a chance. I work in central Iowa and I'd be curious as to which top 10 team this was. Don't let fan reactions bug you and certainly don't let the comments of an 8th grade AAU coach get to you. Unfortunately at these tournaments you don't get hospitality rooms to go have a drink. You could always let the tournament organizer know about the comment and then let it go and leave it at that.
