Well in your case that makes sense. It's not out of the ordinary there.

The reason I expect something nonsensical from a coach who does that here is that it's NOT normal here. It means they come from some area that felt compelled to add that to their rules AND the coach is not even aware that it's abnormal. (One would think that once tourney season starts, they would have had the opportunity to have the odd-rules-stuff knocked off of them after just one weekend).

IOW - if they are doing this abnormal thing in the summer, then I can usually expect them to do something or say something equally abnormal.
