Did Carl know?

[Carl Childress]

WindyWhoHa suggested I didn't know that a coach could be in the coaching box in a wheelchair. Of course, I did. Here was my short reply to WhoeverHeIs. I thought it should be a separate topic since the new subject might piques more interst than a rehash of who calls what and when.

To What's His Name:

I take extreme umbrage (no grin) to you suggesting I didn't know a coach could be in a wheelchair in the coaching box.

When such a coach was on my field, I made damned sure he kept both feet inside the box.

I wanted to be able to tell the court I kept him where he was supposed to be during live action. Luckily, he never had to wheel out of the way to make room for a fielder to glove a pop up or chase an errant throw, or the pitcher to back up third, or ....

If I had the power, I would relegate "physically disadvantaged coaches" (the ones I considered to be a danger by their presence on the field) to the dugout.

That may not please people connected with the ADA, but it would clearly make those at OSHA happy.
