I can't tell you how often I've had those types of conversations with coaches... Some examples off the top of my head:
"That's illegal contact! he can't hit the receiver after 5 yards!"
"Pass interference is a spot foul!"
"He can wear this tinted eyeshield, it's legal"
I usually respond with "Coach, that's a Sunday rule, not a Friday rule."
