Your coach was right, but even if you showed the rule to your buddies, they wouldn't believe you because:

I don't care what the rule says, it's not fair and the referee should rule a violation anyways.

Well, being mean spirited can often lead to to interment, but it really needs to escalate first.

But to answer the question I think you meant to ask:
Since the internet was a glimmer in Al Gore's eye.

Not at all, and despite Snaq's veiled threat (or whatever the hell that was) I thought it was cool.
