You came all the way over here for that?

REPLY: I agree with waltjp...when a coach is participating in a charged TO, he has the right to come onto the field between the hashes to speak with his players. But only for that purpose. He does not have the right to come all the way across the field to discuss anything with you. In hindsight, I'm sure you could have handled this differently. Heck, that's why you posted the question in the first place--to get others' opinions. But...that coach is skating on thin ice when he comes past his huddle, across the field to speak with an official.
