5th foul - game management

It's not a question of manliness or copping out; it's game management. If the foul call deserves an explanation to the coach, give it and get out. Why create or prolong a potential conflict?

Either way works just fine, stan.
With your presence, there ain't gonna be anyone to question you either way.

We don't have that local procedure U.P. here, but I remember it being discussed.... somewhere. Actually, I think it may be a three-man mechanic where the Center is gone and the Trail may let 'em know. Man it's been a long time since I worked three. Tomorrow night, ...finally!

I don't mind telling the coach, "That's Five, Coach." And I welcome the opportunity to offer an indirect "T".
