Cool

Dave,

Base coaches wear helmets that do not have ear protection and provide virtually zero protection below the temples.

I may be mistaken but the Coach Helmet Rule adopted at the General Manager's Meeting a few years ago allows helmets with or without flap(s) to be worn. I don't see anything wrong with a coach protecting his plate side ear with a flap. If a runner is expected to be able to hear his coaches while wearing one then Bowa and the others who hate having to wear it have no reason to cry foul. I remember one coach saying that wearing his helmet was uncomfortable and he couldn't chew gum because it kept popping up when he did. Sheesh.
