Is this funny or am I missing something?

That's not what happened in the original post and completely out of context. It's a different situation and should be handled differently.
For anyone with any common sense AND understanding of the game, you let the girl tie her shoe.
No wonder we catch so much crap!

What's wrong with trying to visualize this scene in order to try to make some sense out of it? Can you tie your shoe holding a basketball? If the trail official HAD handled the situation with some common sense AND understanding of the game and let the girl tie her shoe as I suggested we avoid the whole crap with the varsity coach and the melee that followed. (Did you read that part?)
Somehow I get the feeling you didn't understand the what I was trying to communicate. I'm sure the original post sender knows his partner got them in trouble for a situation that should have never happened.
