If it has nothing to do with Bob, why did you bring him up? Last time I checked I did not ask Bob’s opinion. Seriously, if you do not want something to be about something, you do not bring up the issue or person.

Try reading this slowly. I believe that the intent of the rule was to restrict actions above what the plays suggest. Now you do not have to believe that, but that is what I think and why I raised the issue. If you do not want to accept that, then keep talking about it over and over and over again here. But I stand by what I feel and feel this is no different than other rules where they wanted to take action on something, but did not make it clear across the board when and how this might be applied. Because all they had to do is create a play that said that the HC would not be restricted if they were thrown out. But all they did was create about 4 plays that said the same thing and made no distinction between what might be the penalty if there is a problem with the head coach. And the very reason this issue has come up more than once already and most people walk away debating.
And I knew I could not have this discussion with baseball umpires as usual. There were two rules brought up in football season this past year and those individuals dissected, debated, argued over the intent or the reasons for one very poorly written rule and another rule that was somewhat controversial. But hey, cannot do that here, maybe that is why many like yourself cannot handle a coach debating with you and throwing everyone out is a badge of honor. Keep up the good work.
