Being a Smart-*** Player

If he was a player in the situation posted, then I'm definitely OK with the directional pointing. If he was standing in the coach's box and gave a signal, I'm def OK with that too.

He said he pointed to the endline when the opposing player stepped OOB, not too many coaches would be in position to do this.

Like I said, I'm fine with players pointing once the I've blown my whislte, they do it all the time. But when I point the other way, they should just start moving into defensive position rather than argue it with me.

I do, however, get annoyed when, during play, a player points to the line (to indicate the opponent stepped OOB) or makes a traveling signal. He may as well start counting out loud for me. I'll take less of this than "traveling" from the coach.

I agree....but, I've seen coaches wander from the coaching box all the way down the end line. This being wreck league, that scenario is very possible.

Moot point, though, now that commcoach explained himself.

True, but if that was the case, I wouldn't be talking to him about pointing. If he's out of the box that far and trying to influence my calls.... Let's just say he won't have to worry about the boundaries of the coaching box the rest of the game.

Good point.
