Anywho, we both explain to the coach the rule and he was, again, upset. I said coach, listen...it's a BS rule but it's the rule. The ball was live and you're player entered the game without me waving him in. Coach tried to say I did wave him in which was incorrect.

One important thing, if the player entered without being beckoned, it is a T whether the ball was live or not.

What did your hand motion to your partner look like? Do you think the player may have misconstrued it, or did he just hear the horn and enter without even a look?

Which part do consider a BS rule?
