I guess I'm different, as our supervisor doesn't expect us to take things like this into our hands and come up with something that has no rule basis whatsoever. Sorry, I just don't see any reason to not finish the quarter. It's 37 seconds, the kid's not dying.

Why would the state office know, anyway? Do you think a coach will be on the phone the next morning complaining?
Calls are made and videos are sent to the state all the time for all kinds of reasons. The opposing coach could tell you he's fine with it and still call to ***** about it. Or he could get pissed at you later in the game and call anyway.

I just don't put myself in situations like this, where my actions aren't supported by rule.

And I'm certainly not going to try to justify it with 2-3 when the rules are very clear on what needs to happen.
