Dude,you're just setting yourself up for headaches when you start making up your own rules. If the other coach gets a T for yapping at you,you now won't be able to seatbelt him either.That's not being consistent or fair if you do.If his Assistant then gets a T,and you have to charge that head coach with an indirect T,you still aren't going to be able to seatbelt him for the same reasons.Jmo,but I think you're not doing yourself any favors in this sitch,and you sure as heck aren't helping the next set of officials that go in there and call the rules properly,and have to hear "well the last crew we had didn't seatbelt me."

JR, I knew I could count on you to show me my evil ways.
If you were a traffic cop JR, I bet everyone you stopped would get a ticket, wouldn't they?
I must say though that I didn't really "make up my own rules", I just didn't enforce the rule to it's full potential.
I agree with you, it is not being consistent and I don't want another crew to seem over officious...but, it just felt right in this situation.
Dude
