But, as a professional in my field I recognize that I don't have all the answers. So what better place to go than to officiating.com to get a professional answer. Then only professional answer was to refer to 10-4-1b...but that was followed by "bad, bad coach." I guess i'll have to sign on with a different user name and say i'm a new referee and i have a question. Saying I am a coach without a doubt brings negativity with some high strung refs.

Just a bit about the way things work here, you'll note he added the smiley face. He was chiding you a bit; it's what we do and it was done in fun at the time.
You got the reference, a lot of concurring opinions, and not a single dissenting opinion. You've got representative opinions from officials all over the country, and it's unanimous.
FWIW, a "new official" would have gotten the same response. A "new official" who argued with the response would have gotten an even worse follow-up response.
