Coach takes a charge!!!

In any event there are times when *I* need to run into the coaches area as a play develops.

If I knock a coach on his @ss as I run by do you think a T will reinforce the idea that he needs to be more careful? Assuming he's that dense do you expect he'll be that much more restrained next time he gets excited during a tight game?

And if I knock him on his @ss while he's legally standing OOB can he T me?

Don't confuse the original issue with a coach being way out of his prescribed area and the fact that YOU may be the one that enters HIS domain. As an official, you have the responsibility to AVOID the coach or other bench personnel as you run by them -- to the best of your ability.
