I agree. It's best not to go looking for trouble. By saying something, you're likely to start an unnecessary argument with the Coach.

You cannot have an argument if only 1 person is arguing. All you are doing is saying if it is run it is flagged. He can rant and rave all he wants but there is no further response required from you. Maybe the reason you fellas are so quick to think there will be a confrontation is because you are used to having confrontations. I have given warnings like that many times and never had an argument.

Pregame, we answer whatever questions the coach has and discuss plays like this. During the game, I'm not saying a word. Not my job to tell the coach what to run, or what is legal/illegal.

I know if you have had any degree of training in Texas you have heard "preventative officiating" over and over and over. That is what it is about.

There's a difference between preventative officiating and incorrect preventative officiating. What this coach just whispered to his player is not illegal, nor is the play he's about to run.
