Did the kids follow his advice?
Although I would like to agree with Smitty, I can't. This is like the coach telling the kids to foul 'em at the end of a close game. I think we need to call the game that's being played, however, I may be hyperaware of the situation.
Thanks, Stan

So Stan, what are you going to do - wait till a kid throws the elbow that breaks another kid's jaw? Then what are you gonna do? Toss the elbow thrower
and the coach? How are you going to justify tossing the coach at that point? If you say "I heard you tell that kid to break someone's jaw at your last time-out", your reffing days will be over. You've just set yourself up for a lawsuit. If you don't toss the coach when you hear the remarks, you can't toss him later or else you set yourself up to be as responsible for the injury as he is.
