And if you don't hire an attorney to defend yourself against false allegations, then, as they say, you have a fool for a client. Maybe our liability insurance through NFHS, or IAABO, or some other organization, will cover us, but you still need a lawyer to negotiate. And they make more per billable hour than we do on the court.

Who was it on this Forum who said, and I'm paraphrasing here, you can't do wrong if you follow the rules as written? C'mon, fess up to it. It was a good line, as I remember.

In the first place, attorneys know the rule book even less than coaches.

In the second place. "That's a thought. Here's another thought."

I was too young to appreciate Archie Bunker the first time around. Is that show in syndication anywhere?
