Coaches are not going to agree with every rule and the solution to this is not to just allow the coaches to do as they please. I believe that we cannot choose which rules to enforce and which rules to not. There are plenty of rules that I disagree with, however they are rules so I am going to enforce them.

Have you ever exceeded the speed limit ? (a rule is a rule

Our degrees on the wall and our complete and total knowledge of the league rules mean nothing when you don't have the ability to assess and manage situations that aren't listed in black and white.
They screwed up on the black and white areas.
You screwed up on the grey area.
Put your degree to use and quit rationalizing your actions.
