Pre-Game Meeting

[divey]

Hey KDM this "debate" is kinda fun.

First off, your definition of "debate" wasn't even a definition. It was merely part of a sentence taken out of context. i.e. :the formal discussion of a motion before a deliberative body according to the rules of parliamentary procedure. SOUNDS LIKE A DEBATE TO ME!

Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary- The first definition of debate is--a contention by words or arguments. It goes on to state, and now I'll take words out of context, fight, contend, to argue about, to engage(an opponent).

I'll stick with my original statement, I'm not out before the game to "debate" with the Coaches. Which brings us back to the question of having a pre-game meeting with both coaches. Every statement you quoted or took out of context from the Officials Manual has nothing to do with the NF's recommendation on a pre-game meeting with the Coaches and players.

I suppose we will interpret and apply the Rules the way we each see fit. Hopefully the end result will be for the good of the game.

The DEBATE shall go on!
