I apply this the same as any other rule. Advantage/disadvantage .. time/situation.

Just got done doing my game of the season. #3 in the state was upset by a local rival. Head coach on my sideline is a very prominate coach. Everyone knows who the head coach of this team is. Late in the game (less than 2 min), Asst. Coach is screaming at me, TIME OUT TIME OUT... I just stare at him. (NOTE: Clock is stopped for a first down here and R is holding ready seeing this arguement going on).

The head coach looks at him and says "we only have one left..you sure?". I say to HC "You want it?". He just walks away. Asst. Coach resumes screaming at me at the top of his lungs. Again I just look at him... "your not the head coach".. I say. Coach did get his time out and he didn't lose a second. Was fun though...Asst. coach had been riding me all game but I'd been turning a deaf ear. Was fun to get him back a bit.
