I had a coach (varsity) tell me the 5 second count does not start until the player slaps the ball. Now am I suppose to give them the benefit of the doubt if one of her players thought that was a rule? How far are we going to take this?

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!
