Fun coaches

[waltjp]

I've just about had it with special kicking balls. They're usually under or over inflated or so worn you can't get a grip on them. With the exception of a wet or muddy ball I never let the teams switch balls for a try.

When I'm presented with balls to inspect during the pregame I'll ask the coach if he's willing to use his kicking ball when they're on offense. If he answers 'no' I'll tell him that we won't force the opponent to use it either. That usually stops the conversation.
