The second this comes out of your mouth

I PROTEST YOUR MISAPPLICATION OF THE RULES

What leg are you going to stand on at the protest hearing?

He has none, unless every coach/protest authority in his league is a simpleton. The second he admits he uses 'possession of the ball' as a litmus test for obstruction, he's done in FEDlandia. That must be a nice area to work in....I wonder if I can try the ole "in my judgement we only allow two strikes" angle


He has deliberately chosen to ignore/misapply an unambiguous FED rule, end of story. He can play with that fire until he gets burned.

BigGuy, if you are so hard-set against following FED rules, why call the games? Oh, thaaaaaaaats right.....it's the lure of the 'big bucks'
