We had a coach that wanted to argue this last weekend. Even after the UIC pointed out the rule in the book. He's a jack@$$ and will generally get a "learn SOME of the rules" in on you somewhere. I forgot he was there on Sunday until I heard those exact words as we left the field. He thinks he knows, and assumes you don't because it conflicts with what he "knows."

I'll get him before the season's over - just for the sake of dumping him.
