I will let all the others on this board chime in about situations in their area where "drawing a line" and other situations that were ignored and "why" it was ignored by their partners. You are telling me it is never because it would make the coach angry and would get them reported and a downgraded schedule. I hope this is true and all the responses say this has never happened. Glad this is not a problem in your area, and after hearing from 1,000 others that it is not a problem anywhere, I will stand corrected.
