Coaches, please read the rule book

[stosh]

I made it as far as the jump ball before the stupidity began on Friday:

Toss goes up, ball tied up by two players of disparate heights. I point at them and tell them its another toss with them in the middle.

Coach: "Why them, it can be anyone I want"
me: "Not according to the rule"
Coach: " You're making that up; its not a rule"
me: "How 'bout a T and then it won't matter?"
Coach: silence
