Interesting.
I'm saying they're much more apt to check their facts (in this case, the rule book) if someone else is adamant they are wrong, rather than being milquetoast about it. I'm sorry, but a weak-livered, "well, I don't know about that" probably won't engage any extra rule study.

Helps if the coach hasn't *****ed all night over stoopid stuff too.
