Friday night.

Interesting scenario.

I think the coach has to take the heat on this one. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse. If he didn't know it, he should have. If he knew the rule he should have stopped it. If you see 3 you assess 3 (must have the numbers).

Couple of questions, you chose to leave the coach in the game based your partner's interpretation of the rules (smart to let him take R). If you know you are in error, fix it while you can and say buh bye to the coach. I don't think I could admit to either coach that I was knowingly enforcing a rule incorrectly.Finding out you made a mistake after it is too late to change it is one thing,but to say we know this is wrong and we aren't going to change it while we still have time, that opens a big can of worms. How would you have dealt with it, if during the game the visiting coach had gotten 3 indirect T's? Does he get to stay in the game too? If not, do you remove the home team coach at the same time?

Don't feel too bad, that is the beauty of the experience, next time you will have the wherewithall (sp?) to handle it differently.
