Grumpy Coach

Mike,

Once you told him that if he kept it up, and he did, he was going to get flagged. You then needed to flag him when he kept it up. The way I see it, you didn't flag him, he just flagged himself. You were there to facilitate him.

I also work in Illinois and the guideline that has come from Bloomington has helped to keep coaches off the field. In doing so, it gives the wings and the chain gang more room to work. I noticed this week, (week 3 of a 9 week regular season) that the coaches are really starting to understand that this is going to stick and that they need to adjust their coaching locations to the actual coaching box.
