AP throw-in followed by non AP throw-in

Sometimes it's helpful when you have a coach or other official that says "that's not the rule. The rule is this..." Then you can say, that was the rule until about 5 years ago.

I feel the same way with NFHS/NCAA differences. Don't dwell on NCAA rules if you are in a NFHS rules discussion, but sometimes it's helpful to know the difference so you can tell somebody that they are thinking of the wrong rulebook.

This. All due respect to Raymond whose wisdom I have studied and applied many times, but in this case count me in the BillyMac/Altor camp. I believe in the power of history as a tool in my tool belt.

It lets the coach be partially correct, just not current. I've found that is often accepted when used and effectively resolves the conflict more than not.

"That may have been the rule at one time, but it is not currently".

You can use that line whether you know the history of the rule or not. You can even use it if the coach is wrong about it being a rule at one time.
