JCrow...you lost me when you said, if you take that T why not cheat on a test? Why not cheat on your spouse? Playing by the rules (whether it's a T you agree with or not) IS NOT EQUAL TO CHEATING OR BEING DISHONEST.

Maybe you could teach your players/kids to respect the rules and those who try to enforce them fairly, regardless of if you think it's too strict or unnecessary. If it's a rule you want to change, handle it in your coaches pre-season meeting.

What is being taught when coaches change rules as they go? Is the other coach teaching his kids, "Yeah, I know we have rules about timeouts, but we don't need to follow them." I think I understand your intent, but I totally disagree with how you stated it to your players.
