Coach not knowing the rule.

[InsideTheStripe]

I made this mistake once...

I was working my first ever V wrestling meet and had to call flagrant misconduct (DQ with a big penalty) on a wrestler. The coach was disputing the deduction of team points at the table saying, "I want to see that in the book". My response was along the lines of... "I'll be happy to show you in the locker room after the meet is over, but we're not stopping the meet for something as basic as this".

After the dual, I spent 45 minutes in the locker room with him pointing to rules. Then spent another 30 minutes on the phone at home later that day repeating myself.

NEVER AGAIN.
