Handchecking

Then he starts a sentence with, "My theory is that it's a foul...." and I couldn't help it -- I was laughing as I walked away.

Anne Elk also had a theory.

That single refernece is the best description I have seen yet about coaches and their knowledge of the rules. I laughed out loud when I read your comment.
