"'Scuse me while I whip this out..."

[danreeves1973]

I refer to the whipping out of the rule book as the "unforgiveable sin" that a coach can commit.

Had one try it this year, he wanted to argue, started to pull it out, I pointed at him and warned him against it. He heeded the warning and after the game catches me by the concession stand and asks if we can discuss it. Whips out the book, rifles through it for a minuted and can't find what he wanted to argue. I had to show him where the rule was and that he was wrong. Loved every minute of it.
