You could have the coaches go opposite.

I just wonder how much the number of technicals is going to go up this year.

Can't go up for me. I'm already averaging an infinite number of them.

And please, don't tell me infinity is metric.

Good news: infinity is not metric.

Bad news: there's lots of different size infinities.

Great news. When I visit Liberia, if I use the word infinity, they'll know what I'm talking about, just as well as they know that there are four pecks in a bushel.

I read somewhere that when they sent the trail opposite, there were more techs called, as coaches were standing yelling across the floor, as opposed to speaking to an official right in front of them. You see, the "Look at me" factor is diminished if the official is right there, so some coaches are neutralized by proximity.

Why? This is the perferct opportunity to display our interpersonal skills.

One should never give up the opportunity to communicate, although, it may not be what one wants to hear.

Does anyone know the rationale behind the change? Are they fixing what isn't broke?

Another reason not to make the change.
