Mark has not used that on a regular basis in quite a long time. And people do ignore Mark sometimes too. 😉

But I'm reasonably sure that I'll never forget it.

I'd never suggest a coach to pull out a rule book...cause if a coach tried and pulled that stunt on me, that's a T in my book.

Why? Is that a violation of a rule?
What if the coach happens to actually be correct? 😮

There's only one reason a coach is going to try and pull that stunt...and that's to show you up. Now I'm not saying a coach can't have a rule book with him, and if he wants to read that instead of paying attention to the game, then that's fine by me, but he's not going to pull the out and try and show me a rule. That's just trying to show you up and make you look incompetent, incite the fans to your incompetency, and the players too.

The only exception I might make to this is in some rec league where special rules are often in place.
