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.

Why in the heck would I tell him the play was illegal if it was not???? It is clearly illegal under NCAA rules.
